Water soluble wax
A full range of soluble waxes for standard applications, giving excellent dimensional accuracy, fast leaching and a fine surface finish.
Why foundries choose it
Fast, residue-free core removal
Dissolves in water for clean removal, less solvent use and shorter processing time.

Getting the best from it
Your engineer will confirm settings for your grade and dies.
Melt gently
Melt at 80–85 °C with gentle agitation at 10–15 rpm so filler does not settle.
Inject
Inject at 55–65 °C and 300–500 psi (20–35 bar).
Build the pattern
Apply non-soluble wax over the soluble core.
Leach
Place in water to dissolve the core, leaving the pattern.
Complete the system
Non-filled pattern wax
Formulated to perform like filled wax, with a high surface finish and easy recycling.
View detailsFilled pattern wax
Filled with cross-linked polystyrene (XLPS) for tight dimensional control. Liquid or paste injection.
View detailsRepair wax
Patching wax for patterns, assemblies and soluble cores. Hand-warm it or apply it melted.
