FOCUS ON: APS FROZEN SYRINGES/CARTRIDGES
APS' Pre-Mixed & Frozen Syringes or Cartridges can be stored in your freezer (-40°F or greater) and can simply be thawed before use. The process includes thoroughly blending two-component optic materials, degassing them to remove entrapped air and then refreezing the resin in a disposable syringe or cartridge. Benefits include longer shelf life with minimal user contact with materials.
