Akron Ultra Waxes | Instructions
Akron Ultra Waxes™
Compounded from the purest virgin waxes and resins, Akron Ultra Waxes can be trusted to consistantly reproduce your mold patterns perfectly. Unique quick-melt beads assure effecient wax pot operation. Typical injection temperature is 154 - 160 degrees F. at fom 5 to 12 psi.
Magna-Pink and Magna-Blue are simply the best on the market today. Extremely fluid. Provides excellent fill in the most intricate filigree. Built in release agent. High-durability and non-brittle. Holds up to moderate handling, carving and shaping without adverse effect. Low injection pressure almost eliminates mold lines. Low injection temperature keeps pattern shrinkage low.
General Purpose Grades available in Aqua, Turquoise, Ruby Red, and Blue offer good flow and have a self-releasing agent. A medium-hard, medium-tough wax with good ductility and memory. Slightly less fluid than Magna-Wax, but still more than adequate for almost all types of designs. Copies fine detail very well. Not as sensitive to thermal abuse as Magna-Wax.
Plasti-Blue is a very strong wax. Carries highest ratings for toughness and hardness. Can be carved, filed and worked rather aggressively without risk of breaking down. Provides fine detail replication, but higher viscosity and extra durability make this wax more suitable to larger, open-style pieces than to more delicate, lacy designs.
Buckle Wax (pink) is ideal for flat or heavy castings. Particularly desirable where low-shrink properties are an important consideration. Very good flow characteristics and low shrinkage. Average flexibility and memory. Not well-suited for carving applications. Does not contain built-in release agents. As with most Akron Ultra Waxes, it is compatible with steam dewaxing.
