PalaXtreme®
Strong choice. Tough dentures.
PalaXtreme – high-impact, self-curing denture acrylic for special applications
A strong base is key to a long-lasting and high-quality denture: PalaXtreme offers a unique combination of benefits to achieve this goal.
With PalaXtreme you get high-impact strength and excellent handling characteristics. The “core shell technology” minimises the risk of fractures. Due to it’s high viscosity this high-impact denture acrylic works perfectly with the pouring or the injection technique.
Benefits
- Designed for special applications such as implant based dentures
- Adds to the prevention of impact damage and therefore avoidance of time-consuming warranty repairs
- Its unique formulation offers a broad range of processing options, with injection and pouring techniques
- Low level of residual monomers: 1.4%1
- Various gingiva colour options (known Pala shades) and a clear colour option are available

Indications
- Implant supported dentures
- Full dentures
- Partial dentures: several or single saddles
- Dental splints
Science
Core Shell Technology – What is it?
PalaXtreme gets its fracture toughness from the new “core shell technology” – polymer pearls with a flexible core. The flexible core prevents the pearl from breaking and acts as a shock absorber to prevent any microscopic damage from spreading to other pearls.
Fracture toughness, fracture work & colour stability
PalaXtreme is one of the first denture acrylics to exceed both of the pass/fail durability tests of ISO 20795 for maximum stress intensity (2.6 MPa*m)1 and total fracture of work (1,128 J/m²)1. This high fracture toughness is based on the “Core Shell Technology” – polymer pearl with a hard shell and a flexible core.

Scientific Studies
Study from University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany
In vitro studies confirm PalaXtreme's "high-impact" properties in fracture toughness testing and demonstrate a low residual monomer content compared to other cold-curing denture base materials.
