Argen Launches ArgenZ HT+ Zirconia

Argen is proud to announce the launch of ArgenZ HT+. This innovative material is the next generation high translucent zirconia, and is the new workhorse standard for HT zirconia.  ArgenZ HT+ features 4-5% more translucency (45%) and 150MPa increased strength (1250MPa) over traditional HT zirconia. ArgenZ HT+ gives dental laboratories the ability to complete any case, from single units up to a full roundhouse. ArgenZ HT+ easily blends with ArgenZ Anterior and other ceramic materials, making it perfect for combination cases. ArgenZ HT+ and Anterior can be sintered together at 1500ºc for easier processing and increased productivity.

“After several years of development we attained and surpassed our goal to reduce sintering temperature of ArgenZ Esthetic while maintaining strength and translucency,” Paul Cascone, Senior VP of Research and Development said. “Not only were we able to reduce the sintering temperature from 1570⁰C to 1500⁰C but the zirconia...
