Since 1918, HORICO, Hopf, Ringleb & Co. GmbH & Cie., has been producing galvanically bonded dental abrasive instruments. After visiting his dentist, Paul Hopf, chief engineer, developed a separating strip made of steel, improving upon the conventional dental separating strips made of sandpaper that his dentist was using. Steelcarbo® strips are still available today. And today, HORICO is a fourth generation family business with clients in more than 80 countries. HORICO® diamond instruments and Steelcarbo® discs are world-renowned for their high quality, precision, and dependability.

HORICO® diamond instruments are made using a special bonding process that prevents the breakup of the diamond graining or flaking of the diamond coating. This process adheres the diamond grit very tightly to the shank for many hours of use. Because the diamonds used are so hard, the instruments can be used on materials that are too hard for steel or carbide burs such as glass ceramics and zircon. They use high diamond density for maximum service life and high grinding efficiency, and the shanks are made from stainless steel and will not rust. Even their tiniest instruments have uniformly distributed and resistant diamond coatings. No matter which version you choose, you can rely on quality workmanship and precision manufacturing of quality materials - and hence, a longer service life with optimum running smoothness during operation.

Although HORICO® instruments are specially designed for dental applications, they are widely used in a variety of precision deburring applications and lauded for their incredible durability and quality. From jewelers to hobbyists, the variety of shapes, sizes, and grits of HORICO® instruments ensures you will have the perfect tool for every project.
