The present disclosure relates to a wax composition for entirely or partly replacing carnauba wax or montan wax. The composition consists substantially of one or more acids and or derivatives thereof selected from the group consisting of (a) esters of phenols or aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols having at least 1 to 10 primary or secondary hydroxyl groups; (b) amides of ammonia or aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic amines having at least 1 to 15 primary or secondary amino groups;...

To prevent soiling of a hearing aid, the latter is provided with an exchangeable ear wax guard which, in the area of the sound outlet opening of the hearing aid, can be inserted into a sound tube. The ear wax guard is characterized in that, in order to improve its securing in the sound channel, it is provided with elevations at least in a subarea of its surface. On the surface of the ear wax guard, the density or size of the elevations preferably increases counter to the direction of insertion o...

A customizable cerumen guard for a hearing aid having a shell, a receiver, a receiver tube, and aperture in the shell communicating with the receiver tube, includes an insert insertable into the shell aperture, the insert having a chamber therein, a receiver aperture for communication with the receiver tube, an ear canal aperture communicating with the ear of the wearer; and a plurality of customizable, interchangeable caps covering the ear canal aperture. The cerumen guard may also have any of ...

A silsesquioxane resin wax composition, method for its preparation, and use in personal, household, automotive and medical care compositions are disclosed. The silsesquioxane resin wax can also find utility in a variety of oil and gas field applications, such as for crude oil wax control.

Candles formed from triacylglycerol-based wax are provided. The wax generally has a melting point of about 130 to 145.degree. F. (circa 54 to 63.degree. C.). The wax includes a triacylglycerol component and a polyol partial ester component. Examples of suitable polyol partial esters include fatty acid monoesters of glycerol and/or sorbitan. The triacylglycerol-based wax typically has an Iodine Value of about 20 to 40. The wax commonly includes at least about 70 wt. % of the triacylglycerol compo...

A triacylglycerol-based wax includes a triacylglycerol component and a polyol fatty acid partial ester component. The triacylglycerol-based wax may have a melting point of about 54.degree. C. to 63.degree. C., may have an Iodine Value of about 20 to 40, and may have a fatty acid profile including about 50 to 70 wt. % saturated fatty acids. The wax may be suitable for use as a candle.

A gun for sealing with sealing wax which includes a handgrip, a tank melting-pot for the sealing wax, a feeding device, an injector, and a punch. The gun is heated by heating elements. The tank melting-pot is connected with the feeding device and with the injector which consists of a chamber provided, in its terminal part, with a nozzle in which a plunger slides. The punch consists of a sliding rod provided, in its end, with a metallic engraved or raised mark.

A wax liquid temperature control device of a wax injector is disclosed. In this device, a coal oil heat exchanger controls the temperature of the coal oil in a predetermined range. Then, the coal oil is transferred to a wax liquid temperature control cylinder to control the temperature of the wax liquid so that the wax liquid is retained in a proper temperature for being injected to a mold. Therefore, the wax liquid temperature control device of a wax injector may cool the wax liquid in the mold...

A hot wax storage tank is supported by an arm extending vertically upward from a base. A heating element on the tank heats the wax to its vicious liquid state suitable for application on a client. A conduit connects an outlet in the bottom of the tank to the input of a control valve. The output of the control valve is directed to an application dish located beneath control valve outlet. By means of the control valve, an operator can dispense only what is required for each client.

A wax runner is provided having risers along the edge of the surface which is melted to attach the wax gates of wax patterns to the wax runner. The risers prevent the flow of molten wax over the edge of the wax runner. In addition to the risers or separately, at least one locator extends from both ends of the wax runners, the locators are aligned with one another and assure a constant distance between the ends of the wax runner and the wax pattern being affixed to it. The locators further provid...
