- Modifier -carnauba -25%
- Ceresin-10%
- Beeswax-5%
- gum dammar-1%
- colouring agent-<1%
- Modifiers are added as paraffin has low strength ,properties to flakiness,highest coefficient of thermal expansion -greater distortion
PROPERTIES:
1)COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION:
- Paraffin:350*10 to the power -6 degree celsius
- Type 1 wax 25-37 degree celsius -maximum
- permissible linear change is 0.6%
- Cooling 37-25 degree celsius -permisible contraction 0.35%
2)FLOW:
- Minimal flow -permit wax carving/pattern,permit easy removal
3)RESIDUAL STRESS:
- Reason for distortion
- Wax has to be handled at high temperature
- Sooner wax pattern invested minimal residual stress
