Another important advantage of the present adhesive The present invention relates to a novel solid adhesive stick is that it is compatible with many types of additives. in the form of a stick which can be manufactured at Thus, the adhesive stick can be formulated to obtain a low cost and can be readily applied as an adhesive for 25 predetermined feature. This is particularly important easy to bond substrates; and more specifically, to an where a water dispersible stick is required.

Footnotes 28 2 I. ABSTRACT Pigmented wax/resin fills are made and used by painting conservators to fill losses in oil paintings. It is an ideal material because textures, such as canvas weave, can be impressed into the fills to match the painted surface. The Buffalo State College Art Conservation program employs a successful pigmented wax/resin fill formula that uses beeswax, microcrystalline wax, resin, and pigments. One of the components, Laropal® K-80, a resin, is no longer manufactured. The purpose of this investigation was to research and find an alternative resin that would yield an equal or better wax fill formula. To gain more information, aged pigmented wax samples were examined from a report written by Frederick Wallace. In addition, a questionnaire was emailed to conservators to discover what, if any, wax fills they were using, and in what manner.

Abstract Water-in-oil emulsions have the potential to eradicate drying of the lips caused by constant lipstick application by improving moisturising properties and delivering hydrophilic molecules to the lips. To conduct this research, a food microstructure approach was utilisied developing emulsion structures’ using either a batch or continuous process and monitoring the affect these structures had on physical and material properties. The lubricating properties of emulsions structures were then compared to a trained sensory panel. Finally the release behaviour of a moisturising agent was investigated. It was shown that the ingredients used to produce the microstructure are pivotal in indicating the melting profile, droplet size and material properties of the final structure. Specifically, when an aqueous phase is incorporated within a hard shell the elastic modulus increases as the aqueous phase become part of the wax network.

The wax is separated by filtering a chilled solution of waxy oil in a selected solvent (usually a mixture of methyl ethyl ketone and toluene). SLACK WAX is obtained from the dewaxing of refined or unrefined vacuum distillate fractions. If the material has been separated from residual oil fractions it is frequently called PETROLATUM. The slack waxes are de-oiled by solvent crystallization or "sweating" processes to manufacture commercial waxes with low oil content. The oil that is separated from these processes is known as FOOTS OIL. The refined petroleum waxes are known as PARAFFIN WAXES. MICROCRYSTALLINE WAXES have higher molecular weights than the paraffin waxes and consist of substantial amounts of iso- and cycloalkanes. 1.2 SYNONYMS AND TRADENAMES Remark : Paraffin wax Slack wax Petrolatum Microcrystalline wax 1.8.1 OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT VALUES Type of limit : TLV (US) Limit value : 2 mg/m³ Remark : The UK HSE have established an occupational exposure limit of 2 mg/m³ (8 hour TWA) and a 15 minute Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of 6 mg/m³.

Received: 17 June 2020; Accepted: 20 July 2020; Published: 24 July 2020 Abstract: Liquid food adhesion on containers has increased food waste and pollution, which could be effectively alleviated with a superhydrophobic surface. In this research, the superhydrophobic coating was fabricated with edible soybean wax on different substrates by a spraying method. The coated surface showed excellent superhydrophobicity due to its microstructure formed by self-roughening, which could repel a variety of viscous liquid food with the apparent contact angle of 159 2 . ± ◦ The coated surface was still liquid-repellent after hot water immersion (45 ◦C), abrasion test with sandpaper, water impact, finger touch and immersion into yogurt. The liquid-repellent coating with soybean wax, which is natural and green, is promising for application in the food industry to reduce waste. Keywords: non-wettable coating; edible; soybean wax; residue 1. Introduction With the development of the economy, people’s living standards improved, especially in food demand. In daily life, viscous liquid food (such as yogurt, honey, milk, coffee, et al.) residue remain adhering to the container after drinking, which has given us a great deal of inconvenience and resulted in huge waste (up to 15% of liquid food products) [1].

Current dental waxes are mixture of paraffin’s, microcrystalline waxes, natural and synthetic raw materials. However, waxes characterize same disadvantage as plasticity and law stability of volume after melting and cooling. Aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different paraffin’s and microcrystalline waxes on the properties of base plate waxes. Fife new compositions (S1-S5) were compared to four commercial products like base plates from Modelling wax, Modelling wax, Modellierwachs rosa standard, Modelling wax Ceradent. The plasticity and the volumetric shrinkage of the waxes after melting and cooling were measured. Samples S1-S5 to reflect of the requirements of the ISO standard and have the proper plasticity.
