A. No. The Eclipse Processing Unit was designed specifically with the light and heat requirements needed for the Eclipse resin materials. Eclipse runs much hotter that Triad, since it uses six lamps. The two processing units are not similar and are not interchangeable. The Triad Processing Unit only gets to a temperature of 168 F. The Eclipse Processing Unit attains a temperature of 265 F. A denture processed in a Triad Processing Unit will not cure properly, even though it may appear cured when you take it out of the unit. A Triad cured Eclipse denture will not have the strength required of a denture. Q.
