Prestige by Certus Optima Investment-49 lb Bag

Prestige Optima is a significant breakthrough by Certus to develop a new generation gypsum bonded investment that consistently provides superior, smoother surface for casting today's resin patterns and a variety of other materials including:

• Resin Patterns-Most All Competitive Brands
• Carving Waxes
• Standard Injection Waxes
• Plastics
• Wax Based Polymers
• Hybrid Wax/Plastic Patterns

Prestige by Certus OPTIMA investment features the highest mold expansion that is required for resin patterns that can be so difficult to cast with. It is an easy to mix formula that mixes to a creamy, smooth pourable slurry.  It has a extra low rise of slurry under vacuum and outstanding temperature resistance for higher burnout temps.  You will find that it greatly reduces porosity in the most difficult metals saving tons of time in finishing. Besides capturing the most delicate details, Prestige Optima will also work with high temperature metals like palladium white gold and other alloys. The extra high expansion properties of Optima allow for the investment to expand ahead of resin patterns and other high expanding pattern materials, thus avoiding flashing, or cracking of the mold.
