DUO
Strength: 850 – 1200 MPa
Translucency: 45% – 48%
Sintering Temperature 1480 C
Upcera DUO Multilayer is a premium, universal zirconia block combining 3Y and 5Y powders. It uses advanced Uniform Particle Dispersion (UPD) technology to ensure even shrinkage during sintering, delivering perfect marginal fits without distortion.
Best Used For Everything from highly aesthetic anterior crowns to heavy load-bearing full-arch bridges. It acts as an “everyday workhorse” for laboratories looking to streamline inventory with a single block that handles almost any indication.
How it Differs from Explore Multilayer
-
Unified vs. Split Inventory: Explore requires you to stock two separate variations (Functional for extreme strength, Esthetic for high translucency). DUO bridges the gap, offering the optimal sweet spot of both in one single block.
-
Better Deformation Control: DUO’s specific UPD powder engineering makes it much more resistant to warping and shrinkage distortion during the firing of large, full-arch frameworks compared to standard multilayer blocks like Explore.
