The film is antistatic and can easily be applied even without using forceps. It is also extremely tear-resistant and ideal for resilience testing. In contrast to the conventional Shimstock film this Arti-Fol®metallic marks the respective high spot precisely. Since the back of the film is metallic, it is obvious which side is color coated and which is not. Arti-Fol® metallic is tear-resistant and only 12µ thick. It is therefore ideal for checking approximal contact points when fixing dental bridges and crowns. This test film can easily be applied using the Arti- Fol®forceps BK 145 for interproximal contacts. Arti-Fol®metallic comes in four different colors.
