Dreve Fotofix, transparent faceplate adhesive for ITE earmolds

Dreve Fotofix is ​​a transparent adhesive used for bonding faceplates during the production and repair of In-The-Ear (ITE) earmolds. Specifically developed for the field of custom earmold technology (otoplastics), it ensures a neat, virtually invisible bond between the faceplate and the shell.

When manufacturing In-The-Ear (ITE) hearing aids, a precise fit between the faceplate and the shell is essential. Dreve Fotofix helps prevent gaps and visible seams, resulting in a sleek, professional finish. Its transparent color complements Dreve’s popular Fotoplast S IO material, making Fotofix particularly well-suited for applications where a high-quality aesthetic finish is required.

The practical 20 ml bottle comes with an integrated brush, allowing for precise and targeted application of the adhesive.

Key features and benefits:

• Designed for ITE earmolds: suitable for both the manufacturing and repair of In-The-Ear hearing aids.
• Transparent finish: creates a clean bond without noticeable adhesive residue.

How to use Dreve Fotofix 480?

Proper preparation and precise application are essential for a neat and durable bond.

Step 1 – Preparation

Check that the faceplate and the shell fit together correctly. Ensure that the surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or other contaminants.

Step 2 – Applying the glue

Using the integrated brush, apply a thin, even layer of Dreve Fotofix to the designated bonding surface. Use only the amount of glue necessary to achieve a secure connection.

Step 3 – Positioning the faceplate

Carefully place the faceplate onto the shell. Check the alignment and ensure that the components fit together snugly, with no visible gaps.

Step 4 – Curing

Allow the bond to cure according to Dreve’s specified processing instructions. Fotofix is ​​a light-curing product; therefore, use the recommended light-polymerization equipment and curing duration. Step 5 – Finishing

Once cured, check the joint all the way around. Remove any excess adhesive and complete the finishing of the ITE earmold according to standard laboratory procedures.

Note: Please refer to the current technical documentation from Dreve for the exact curing time, light source, and any additional processing steps.
