Chinese Insect Wax (Pe‑La) is a hard natural insect‑sourced wax with a relatively high melting point. It features outstanding hardness, low shrinkage upon cooling and fine crystalline structure. This specialty natural wax serves as a key raw material for investment precision casting patterns. It also delivers excellent glazing performance for paper surface finishing and works as a polishing ingredient for different industrial polishing compounds. It is a premium natural wax for multiple high‑gra
Product Overview Chinese Insect Wax (Pe‑La) is a distinctive hard natural wax secreted by scale insects. It possesses a high melting range, low thermal shrinkage rate and stable crystalline property. For precision investment casting, it is applied for pattern production, exhibiting low ash‑residue after burnout during the dewaxing procedure. In paper‑glazing processes, it forms a smooth protective wax layer on the paper surface to enhance gloss and water‑resistance. When incorporated into polishing formulations, it improves surface hardness and brightness of polished workpieces. This unique natural wax offers reliable performance for sophisticated industrial manufacturing.
Key Features ‑ Hard natural insect‑secreted wax with high melting‑point property ‑ Very low ash residue after thermal decomposition, ideal for precision investment casting ‑ Low cooling shrinkage to maintain dimensional stability of casting patterns ‑ Excellent glazing effect to increase surface gloss for specialty paper ‑ Good compatibility with other natural and synthetic wax grades for wax blending
Typical Technical Properties ‑ Chemical Name: Chinese Insect Wax (Pe‑La) ‑ Appearance: Off‑white to pale yellow solid lumps or flakes ‑ Melting Point: Refer to TDS ‑ Acid Value: Refer to TDS ‑ Saponification Value: Refer to TDS
Applications ‑ Precision investment casting: Pattern wax for small‑size high‑accuracy metal cast parts ‑ Paper finishing: Glazing agent for high‑grade art paper and specialty packaging paper ‑ Industrial polishing: Hardening component for metal and handicraft polishing compounds ‑ Wax compounding: High‑melting hard component for custom industrial blended wax recipes
Processing Recommendation Melt Chinese Insect Wax under controlled heating; avoid rapid over‑heating. For casting pattern preparation, carefully control cooling speed to minimize shrinkage defects. When blending with other waxes, ensure full homogeneous melting and stirring. Recommended addition proportion is determined by target hardness and melting‑point requirements. Complete laboratory testing is strongly advised prior to mass production.
Storage & Handling Store solid Pe‑La wax in cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse. Protect against direct sunlight and excessive ambient heat. Reseal packages after opening to avoid dust contamination. Wear protective gloves during manual handling of solid wax blocks and flakes.
