A Study on Qualities and Components of Wax Patterns

This study was aimed at obtaining a desirable wax pattern for inlay. The method used was to analyze, mix, and heat several kinds of waxes, comparing the temperatures of their components. The result was Type C wax. In type C the amount of paraffin was generally contained(60$\sim$70%) was reduced to 45% and there was mixed 10%-15% of carnauba, which was intended for the wax not to soften readily at low temperatures. The type C has some advantages for general use: handy preparation, high safety, and economy. The inlay waxes commonly used contracted if the temperature fell from 38 to 28, but the contraction of type C was observed to be 0.2%$\sim$0.4% in proportion to the 10 fall. This was more characteristic in mixing.
