High-Temperature Easy-to-Form Lining Wax Sheets


With a higher softening temperature than standard lining wax sheets, use these with casting and laminate resins that require heat during curing. Flexible enough to conform to angles and bends, lining wax is bendable even at room temperature. Use it as a liner in stamping prototypes and to produce castings of die patterns.
Adhesive-back sheets provide a temporary hold and adhere to most oil-free surfaces.

Solid and Paste Milling, Turning, and Sawing Lubricants

Reduce mess and waste with these easy-to-apply, nonstaining lubricants. They reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. All resist running and dripping. They are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free.
Lubricants in a stick are solid and can be applied to cutting surfaces, such as band saw blades and drills bits. Lubricants with graphite are for high-heat applications. Apply to hot surfaces (400° to 850° F), and they melt to coat the surface evenly.
Lubricants that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by product labeling requirements.

Solid Tapping and Threading Lubricants

These easy-to-apply stick lubricants won't drip or run for a cleaner workspace. Use them for tapping many types of metal, as well as plastic and rubber. Apply to taps to make cutting faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. They are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free.
No-Residue Mold-Release Lubricants

Also known as paintable mold-release lubricants, these lubricants don’t leave a residue, so you can paint or finish the molded part without the need to clean it. Apply them to molds before casting so you can easily remove cast parts and prevent sticking, stretching, and tearing. Lubricants with carnauba wax are also known as honey wax. Apply with the included sponge applicator.
Clean-Away Coatings for Metal


Protect metal parts from corrosion. Also known as rust-inhibiting film, these coatings can be removed with a simple degreaser or mineral spirits.
Wax coatings meet MIL-C-16173 for corrosion-resistant compounds that dry to thin, easily removable films. Grade 4 coatings dry to a nontacky finish that’s suitable for environments exposed to high humidity and chemicals. Grade 2 coatings dry to a slightly tacky, self-healing film that lubricates as it protects.
Coatings in a jug can be dipped, brushed, or sprayed.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the regions listed are restricted by product labeling requirements or exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Wax Paper Rolls

Pair these wax paper rolls with a paper roll cutter, so you can cut the paper into any length you need to preserve a variety of products and surfaces. Treated with wax, this paper resists tearing and has a slippery surface that protects products and foods from scratches or sticking together during manufacturing, shipping, and storing. Use it to wrap your items or even as a nonstick work surface. All of this paper is FDA compliant for direct contact with food. It is not, however, meant for use in ovens and microwaves, since it may smoke or catch fire.
Wax-coated paper, also known as wet wax paper, resists moisture. Use it to protect products and foods from grease, water, and oil. It’s also good for safeguarding products with finishes that aren't quite dry. You can even rub this paper on surfaces and tools to add a temporary slippery and moisture-resistant wax layer to them. This paper leaves a wax residue behind, which means it may transfer a wax flavor to foods.
