  • Patent number: 6302690
    Abstract: A dental impression tray comprises a mold shell made of synthetic material and having an inner space for receiving the impression material, and a support shell made of metal and surrounding the exterior of the mold shell in order to provide the overall impression tray with the rigidity and dimensional stability required for taking precisely fitting impressions. The support shell may be detachably connected to the mold shell by positive or non-positive engagement. While the mold shell including the impression material is passed on to the technician who will produce a model of the teeth from which the impression was taken and who may subsequently dispose of the mold shell including the impression material, the support shell will remain with the dentist, immediately ready for reuse upon sterilization.

  • Patent number: 4478994
    Abstract: Unsaturated polyesters based on isophthalic acid are used as additive binders in coating agents. With the use of these polyesters, the resultant coatings have an adhesiveness to metallic substrates to be protected which is improved in relation to the comparable state of the art coatings. Furthermore, coatings are obtained by which the conditions for the protection of metals from corrosion (good adhesion of the coatings on metallic, in particular, critical metallic substrates, and good resistance of the coatings to environmental influences, in particular, good resistance to hydrolysis) are improved. Hence, improved protection from corrosion is achieved.
