Key Features
- Two Strength Grades — Type III for general dental lab work; Type IV for high-precision and high-stress applications such as implant abutments and precision fixed restorations.
- 5 Color Options — White, Yellow, Red, Blue, Orange. Color-coded models improve workflow efficiency in busy dental labs, making it easy to distinguish between different model types at a glance.
- High Compressive Strength — Type III ≥30MPa and Type IV ≥35MPa ensure durable, dimensionally stable models that withstand trimming, articulation, and handling without chipping.
- Low Linear Expansion — ≤0.2% (Type III) and ≤0.1% (Type IV) ensures accurate reproduction of the impression without distortion.
- Fast Setting (Type IV) — 7–9 minute setting time for Type IV reduces lab turnaround time on precision cases.
- Three Packaging Options — Standard bag (1kg), foil bag (1kg), and kraft paper bag (25kg) to suit different lab sizes and procurement volumes.
- OEM Available — Custom colors, bag sizes, labeling, and private-label programs for distributors and dental brands.

Dental Stone vs Plaster of Paris — What is the Difference?
| Dental Stone (Type III/IV) | Plaster of Paris (Type II) | |
|---|---|---|
| Crystal Structure | Alpha-hemihydrate — denser, stronger | Beta-hemihydrate — more porous |
| Résistance à la compression | ≥30 MPa (Type III) / ≥35 MPa (Type IV) | ~10–15 MPa |
| Water/Powder Ratio | Lower (22–23ml/100g) | Higher (45–50ml/100g) |
| Dureté de la surface | High — suitable for model trimming | Low — soft surface, chips easily |
| Best For | Working casts, dies, precision models | Study models, mounting, preliminary casts |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for dental stone?
For 1kg bags: MOQ is 1,005 bags (approximately one carton pallet). For 25kg bags: MOQ is 40 bags (1,000kg). Contact us via Quick Quote with your required type, color, and quantity for a precise quotation.
Which type should I order — Type III or Type IV?
Type III Hard dental stone is suitable for the majority of dental lab applications including dentures, study models, inlays, and onlays. Type IV Super Hard is required for high-stress applications such as implant abutment casts and precision fixed restorations where maximum surface hardness and minimal expansion are critical.
Can I order multiple colors in one shipment?
Yes. Mixed-color orders are accepted for both 1kg and 25kg packs. Specify your required colors and quantities in the Quick Quote form.
Can dental stone be used for life casting and hand molds?
Yes. White dental stone is suitable for 3D life casting (hand, foot, body molds) using a higher water-to-powder ratio of 40ml per 100g. It produces smooth, detailed casts suitable for artistic and keepsake applications.
What packaging options are available?
Standard bag (1kg), foil bag (1kg for better moisture protection), and kraft paper bag (25kg for bulk procurement). Custom bag sizes, colors, and OEM label printing are available — contact us for specifications.
What is the shelf life of dental stone?
2 years from manufacture date under recommended storage conditions — cool, dry place, away from moisture. Keep bags sealed until use.
Do you supply dental stone for orthopedic casting?
Yes. White dental stone is used in orthopedic casting applications. Compressive strength is slightly lower than dental-grade Type III — contact us for specific orthopedic casting specifications and pricing.
