Perflex

What Perflex does

Perflex Ltd. is an Israel-based dental materials manufacturer, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Netanya, that develops and sells proprietary biocompatible thermoplastics for dental laboratories producing aesthetic dentures, partial frameworks, and dental appliances. The product portfolio spans multiple material families (T-Crystal, BioSense, Flexinylon, Acryfree, Acetal, BioSensCad, AcetelCAD, ThermoFix, EasyClasp) covering both injection-molded and CAD/CAM-milled workflows, plus the SMART 101-500 automatic injection molding system as the proprietary processing equipment. The products are engineered to bond with conventional acrylic for repair and relining, are monomer-free or low-monomer, and are positioned as metal-free, non-allergenic, and bacteria/stain-resistant alternatives to traditional chrome-cobalt frameworks.

The company sells exclusively through a hardware revenue model: consumable thermoplastic materials and capital equipment sold to dental laboratories directly and through regional distributors in Israel, Russia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States. Distribution is supported by dedicated stakeholder portals (Patients, Dentists, Labs, Distributors), multi-language websites, downloadable PDF catalogs in English and Spanish, and YouTube-based instructional and testimonial video content. The company obtained FDA registration in 2023 and participated in IDS 2023, signaling active international expansion. The leadership team consists of founder and CEO Perla Ben Simon; no other executive hires, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed in the available data.

Core offering

Perflex develops and manufactures proprietary biocompatible thermoplastic materials and CAD/CAM milling discs for dental laboratories producing dentures, frameworks, and dental appliances. The company also manufactures the SMART 101-500 automatic injection molding system that processes Perflex thermoplastic materials. Products are sold to dental labs, dentists, and regional distributors across Israel, Russia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States.

Product overview

Perflex is a dental materials company that develops high-performance biocompatible thermoplastics for injection molding and tools for dental laboratories. The product portfolio includes multiple material types: T-Crystal and BioSense serve as thermoplastic denture base materials; BioSensCad and AcetelCAD are CAD/CAM milling discs for digital dentistry workflows; Flexinylon, Acryfree, and Acetal provide flexible and rigid thermoplastic options for partial dentures and dental appliances; ThermoFix offers a heat-softening thermoplastic for impressions and custom trays; EasyClasp provides dental clasps; and the SMART 101-500 is an automatic injection molding system. These products are designed to work together, with materials like T-Crystal, BioSense, and Acryfree being repairable and relineable with conventional acrylics, while CAD/CAM products integrate with standard milling machines.
