Initial IQ –
Lustre Pastes NF
from GC.
One paste,
many possibilities
The Lustre Pastes NF are 3-dimensional
ceramic stains developed to bring
improved colour depth and lifelike
translucency to all ceramics in the GC
Initial range.
The Lustre Pastes NF are available in
ready-to-use jars and thanks to the
special refreshing and diluting liquids
an optimal consistency of the pastes
is always guaranteed.
Although developed for the Initial IQ
Press-over and Layering systems, the
Lustre Pastes NF can be used with
the complete range of the GC Initial
Family because they match to both
“low” and “high” CTE ceramics.
The Lustre Pastes NF are based on fine
ceramic particles and can be applied in
a thicker layer in which they exhibit unsurpassed vitality and feature a natural
glaze on all restorations.
Want to work quickly and concentrate on building the body of your
crown with Initial IQ - One Body,
Layering-over-Metal?
With Lustre Pastes NF you can paint
on your illusion in only 2 minutes.
Are you good at waxing up a bridge?
Use the Initial IQ - One Body, Pressover-Metal or Press-over-Zircon technique to create the necessary crown
or bridgework. With Lustre Pastes NF
you can paint the characteristics at a
later stage.
Do you prefer to layer your crown
and bridgework in the traditional
way?
If necessary, you can use the Lustre
Pastes NF afterwards to change the
colour, the brightness or the grey value
without the need to layer a whole new
crown.
Perfect finish to y

Press-over-Metal
Press-over-Zircon
Before applying the Lustre
Pastes NF, the ceramic
restoration is shaped and
contoured using the appropriate diamond burs and is
pre-polished with a ceramic
polisher.
Layering-over-Metal
The finished crowns and
bridges are then sandblasted with 50 microns
Aluminium Oxide at 1,5 bar
pressure.
Basis
The entire surface of the sandblasted restoration is coated with
Lustre Paste NF Neutral.
This coating is significantly thicker
than what is achieved from a
normal glaze firing.
Application of Neutral Lustre Paste
The required Vitapan Classic®
Shade is created by the application of the Lustre Pastes NF
ranging from “Body A - D”.
This process, which only takes
2 minutes, encompasses everything which is necessary to
create Vitapan Classic® shades.
As a master, simply use the other
available colours to create highly
aesthetic results.

‘Refreshing Liquid’:
The ‘Diluting Liquid’ is a special
liquid to offer the desired pastelike consistency for the application.
The ‘Refreshing Liquid’ is used to
preserve the thixotropic property
of the pastes. This liquid is used
to recover dried out pastes to an
optimum, gel-like consistency
without change in the physical
properties.
