COMMERCIAL WAXES NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC- Including Properties, Uses, Methods of Handling and Formulas for Making Commercial Wax Compositions. A SYMPOSIUM AND COMPILATION Edited by H. BENNETT. PREFACE: Natural waxes and wax-lifle materials have been used, from time immemorial, for candles, waterproofing, sealing, decorative, preservative, and other purposes. Synthetic waxes and wax-like materials, developed in the last decade, are finding increasing use and are supplanting natural waxes for many purposes. Since different waxes have different properties, each one is used to obtain certain end results. Whereas certain waxes are used alone, as paraffin wax in waxed papers, other uses require com binations of different waxes, resins, etc., to obtain a desired result. Because there is no one source of information available on the waxes used in industry, the writer was asked to prepare a book on commercial waxes for the chemist, engineer, superin tendent, purchasing agent, and student. It is hoped that this book will be helpful to these and others who are interested in commercial waxes and wax compositions. Much of the data given herein is from the writer's own laboratory and has never been disclosed. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Allan B. Olsen, both for data supplied by him and his constructive criticism of the manuscript. H. BENNETT. Contents include: PREFACE iii INTRODUCTION xi ABBREVIATIONS xv I.
