Why DEGACRYL® for Dental Applications?

Engineered PMMA beads

DEGACRYL® beads are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymers and copolymers known for well‑defined bead size and superior free‑flowing properties - supporting consistent processing and high‑quality surface aesthetics.

Tuned for quality and processing

Narrow bead size distribution, high purity, and optimized process control help achieve lower water, residual monomer, and peroxide contents - contributing to reliable processing and material consistency.

Aesthetics that last

Formulations target natural appearance while supporting aging resistance, dimensional stability, and colorfastness, with a neutral taste and odor that end users appreciate.

Adaptable performance

The portfolio enables tailored mechanical properties and resilience, so manufacturers can match the requirements of different dental product categories and processing routes.

Supply side confidence

Evonik’s quality systems, application know‑how, and technical support provide a stable basis for long‑term formulation and scale‑up decisions.
