CGI Opaque Paste – Met Con
A clean, neutral foundation for every PFM restoration
Met Con is a paste opaque that masks non-precious alloy frameworks. Base-metal alloys can produce dark oxides, and those oxidation colors can show through the porcelain, graying the restoration or dulling its shade. Met Con forms a dense, even masking layer over the metal so the opaque and body porcelain build on a clean, neutral base.
Key Benefits

Indications
For PFM restorations on non-precious (base-metal) alloy frameworks, such as Ni-Cr and Co-Cr.
