Description

Duplicating flasks aredental laboratory equipment for creating an exact copy of a master model. The technician places the model inside the flask, then pours duplicating gel or silicone around it. Once the material sets, the technician removes the original model. This step leaves a mould that can hold stone or refractory investment material to produce a working duplicate cast.

This listing offers two duplicating flask options under SKU SY02750: an aluminium flask and a plastic flask. Both variants hold standard dental models securely during the duplication process, and technicians can reuse either flask across multiple laboratory cases.

The aluminium flask has a rigid metal construction, while the plastic flask has a lighter, moulded construction. Laboratories often choose between the two based on workflow and handling preference. Both flasks accept standard duplicating materials, including gels and silicones.

Dental technicians commonly use duplicating flasks when producing refractory casts for metal frameworks. They also use these flasks to create duplicate models for denture design and orthodontic appliances. The duplication stage forms a standard step before investing and casting. Many South African dental laboratories keep both variants on hand to match specific case requirements.

Between uses, store both flasks in a clean, dry area and rinse away residual duplicating material. This protects the flask surfaces and helps maintain a good seal for future duplications.

This product falls under the Duplicating and Modelling categories in the DDL Dental catalogue, alongside related casting and investment materials used in the same laboratory workflow.

To complete the duplication process, pair this flask with a suitable duplicating material, such as Duplicating Gel Gelodouble Interdent. DDL Dental also stocks a wider range of duplicating flasks and materials for dental laboratories.
