Exotherms of potting compounds and epoxies. The total heat release of three potting compounds, Technovit 7100, Araldite, and Bostic Rapid were compared to a clinical grade polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), V-Steady (a). Since each material produced excessive heat while curing, calcium phosphate was added to reduce the heat release (b). An equal mixture, by weight, was found to minimize heat without noticeably impairing the potting strength
