Popular questions
What is microcrystalline wax made of?
A mineral wax refined from petroleum residuals (de-oiled petrolatum), composed mainly of high–molecular-weight saturated hydrocarbons with branched and cyclic structures.
1 pound of microcrystalline wax weighs how much in everdur bronze?
For the same volume, Everdur bronze (≈8.3–8.7 g/cm³) is about 9–10× denser than microcrystalline wax (≈0.90–0.95 g/cm³), so 1 lb of wax volume would weigh roughly 9–10 lb if cast in Everdur.
At what temperature does microcrystalline wax melt?
Typically about 60–90°C (140–194°F), depending on the grade; some hard grades approach ~95°C (203°F).
How to determine the crystallinity of microcrystalline wax?
Use differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to estimate crystalline fraction from melting enthalpy and X‑ray diffraction (XRD/WAXS) to quantify crystalline versus amorphous phases; FTIR can provide supportive qualitative insight.
How to make dark microcrystalline paste wax?
Melt microcrystalline wax (optionally with 10–20% carnauba for hardness), then blend in odorless mineral spirits or turpentine to a paste consistency and disperse a small amount of carbon black or iron oxide pigment for color; mix thoroughly and cool, observing strict solvent fire-safety.
What is micro crystalline wax?
Microcrystalline wax is a petroleum-derived wax with very small crystals (food additive E905c) used for protective and glazing coatings; it’s related to but distinct from E907 (hydrogenated poly‑1‑decene), a synthetic hydrocarbon wax used as a food glazing agent.
How to use renaissance micro crystalline wax polish?
It isn’t a food additive; apply a very thin coat to a clean, dry surface, let it haze, then buff to a shine—avoid food-contact uses and follow the product’s instructions.
Renaissance micro-crystalline wax polish how to use?
Wipe on an extremely thin film with a soft cloth, allow a light haze, then buff; use in ventilation and do not apply to items that will contact food.
State why paraffin wax of small crystalline structure is important?
Fine-crystal (microcrystalline) waxes form tougher, smoother, glossier films that resist cracking and moisture, which improves the performance of food coatings and glazes; hydrocarbon wax glazes such as E907 take advantage of these properties for even, durable finishes.
What can you do with renaissance micro crystalline wax polish?
Use it to protect and add sheen to metals, wood, leather, and stone in conservation or household settings; it isn’t intended for food contact or as a food additive like E907.
