So what if it's not quite "state of the art"? Wax is a simple, easy-to-use material that delivers consistent properties to engineered products
Simpler solutions to engineering problems are often missed in the eternal quest for the latest technology that requires the latest in engineered materials. Simple solutions using common materials are often passed over as being less than "state of the art." Waxes are one such material. Petroleum waxes have been around for over 100 years, but regardless of wax's longevity, manufacturers familiar with its utility continually develop new applications.
Wax is a simple, easy-to-use material that can deliver consistent properties to engineered products. Consider the issues of encapsulation, lubrication and timed release. These applications were all addressed by Calwax Corp., a specialty wax manufacturer located in Irwindale, CA. Calwax specializes in developing custom solutions to issues involving the use of wax as the primary performance material.
