A substance, somewhat resembling wax, found in connection with certain deposits of rock salt and coal; -- called also mineral wax, and ozocerite.

any of numerous substances or mixtures composed predominantly of the longer-chain saturated hydrocarbons such as the paraffins, which are solid at room teperature, or their alcohol, carboxylic acid, or ester derivatives.

High-molecular weight hydrocarbon which is insoluble in water. - None at this time.

Beeswax is traditionally used to lubricate jacks to prevent scratching or marking the surface of hot glass when working with the tool.

an ester similar to a fat or a phospholipid but containing a monohydroxy alcohol instead of glycerol

n. A smooth substance of low melting point (40-80°C) obtained from plants (e.g. carnauba wax) or animals (e.g. beeswax, lanolin) or made synthetically. They consist of esters of higher fatty acids than are found in fats, usually with monohydric alcohols. Mineral waxes also exist, the most common being paraffin wax, which is a mixture of the higher hydrocarbons obtained from the distillation of petroleum. Waxes are used in making polishes, candles, mouldings, etc., and in modelling.

Any of various natural, oily or greasy heat-sensitive substances, the most common being beeswax. These consist of hydrocarbons or esters of fatty acids that are insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. May also refer to a solid, plastic or liquid substance, such as ozocerite or paraffin, a petroleum byproduct, used in coating paper, in crayons, and other products. Both natural and synthetic waxes are used in painting as a binder, and as an important ingredient in candles and polishes. They are also important materials used for casting and modeling, generally over an armature.

When you apply wax onto a curb or rail to allow for easier grinding. Any type of wax for paraffin wax to soap to candles works.

an ester of a long-chain fatty acid and a long-chain alcohol.

INL The substance skaters spread on the curbs and obstacles to make them more slippery.

(A.S. weax, wax)  Esters of alcohol higher than glycerol, which are insoluble in water and difficult to hydrolyze; wax forms protective waterproof layers on leaves, stems, fruits, animal fur and integuments of insects.

An ester formed from long-chain fatty acids and alcohols that is usually solid at room temperature.

used for carving, engraving, moulding, modelling and casting because it is sensitive to pressure and a good material for fine detail work: traditional recipes combined beeswax with turpentine, tallow or rosin in varying proportions for various degrees of hardness or malleability

any of various substances of either mineral origin or plant or animal origin; they are solid at normal temperatures and insoluble in water

Water-insoluble esters of long-chain acids with long-chain alcohols. Waxes form protective waterproof layers on leaves, stems, fruits, animal fur and integuments of insects.

a material made from a mixture of hydrocarbons or derivatives thereof.

See Beeswax.

Solid or semi-solid material derived from petroleum distillates or residues by such treatments as chilling, precipitating with a solvent or de-oiling. It is a light-colored, more-or-less translucent crystalline mass, slightly greasy to the touch, consisting of a mixture of solid hydrocarbons in which paraffin series predominates.

Hot candle wax dripped on the body is an effective means of inflicting pain

Wax used to finish, polish or burnish wood. We use a clear beeswax.

Otherwise Known as Engine Turner's Cement. The material used for filling and sticking up work, the most flexible way to hold small or irregular shapes. Made from Tree Resin and a filler with small quantities of beeswax and tallow.

Wax in crude oil is largely composed of Parraffins which are white, chemically inert compounds made of saturated hydrocarbons usually C20+. Wax deposition in the oilfield is a flow assurance threat.

Any of a number of resinous, pliable substances of plant or animal origin that are insoluble in water, partially soluble in alcohol,ether, etc.and miscible in all proportions with oils. It is used for making polishes and other products.

High-molecular-weight hydrocarbons; they are insoluble in water.

Any of a number of resinous, pliable substances, of plant or animal origin, which are insoluble in water, partially soluble in substances such as alcohols and miscible in all proportions with oils. Used for making polishes and for similar purposes.

The chemical combination of a long chain alcohol and fatty acids.

Class of substances of plant, animal, or mineral origin, insoluble in water, partly soluble in alcohol, either, etc., and miscible in all proportions with oils and fats. They consist of esters, free fatty acids, free alcohols, and higher hydrocarbons. Common waxes are beeswax, bayberry, paraffin wax, ozokerite, ceresin, and carnauba. Their mixtures are formed into rods and sheets and used for forming vents in cores and molds, repairing patterns, etc.

Wax has traditionally referred to a substance that is secreted by bees (beeswax) and used by them in constructing their honeycombs.

Special wax can be applied to the base of a cross-country ski to tune its climbing performance

A soft substance applied to the base of a ski for protection and to improve its snow-going properties. See glide wax; grip wax.

What you rub on your surfboard to give it grip. Use a circular motion to form 'humps'

A lipid material with considerable oxygen inserted in the molecule; high melting point and relatively impermeable to water.

An ingredient in oil which may separate as a solid on cooling of the oil.

A "renewable" finish added to wood to protect and enhance the natural appearance; can be used on bare or stained wood.

A protective coating applied to protect and enhance appearance.
