MICCROWAX C-562
_ MICCROWAX is a single-material wax for selective stop-off that is
especially suited for masking on complicated parts and sharp edges.
_ MICCROWAX will not crack, and may be readily melted for use by any
common heating medium.
_ MICCROWAX shows a remarkable degree of adhesion, even when used on
flat surfaces. It requires no prime coat before application which
means only one dip tank is necessary for the complete operation.
MiCCROWAX hardens immediately after the part is dipped, thereby
minimizing preparation time and speeding production of parts before
plating.
_ MICCROWAX can be reused without loss of its efficiency.
_ MICCROWAX may be used in most plating cycles as long as cycle
temperatures do not exceed the melting point of the wax.
_ MICCROWAX may be used in the following types of plating: Hard Chrome
Indium Copper Acid Lead Copper Pyro Silver
APPLICATION AND REMOVAL PROCEDURES
MICCROWAX C-562 should be held at temperatures between 1 75_F. and 1
85_F. to attain a maximum thickness of coating for use in selective
hard chromium plating. The parts to be stopped-off should be cleaned
of all dirt, grease, etc. Immerse in MICCROWAX for a few moments to
raise the temperature of the part and withdraw. Two or three
successive, fast dips will provide a heavy coating that will withstand
any hard chromium cycle. The portion to be plated can be bared with a
knife and the surface cleaned with naphtha before plating.
MICCROWAX C-562 can be removed easily by peeling or placing part in
boiling water to melt the coating.
MICCROWAX C-562 comes in 10 lb. cakes, 5 cakes per carton. 7.8# gal.
when melted. 51 # per cu. ft. when melted.
PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
STORAGE: This coating material should be stored and used in accordance
with normal standards of good practice for handling industrial paints.
USE: Maintain adequate ventilation in working area. Wear approved
respirators and protective clothing when working in confined areas.
Avoid repeated breathing of concentrated vapors. Prolonged contact of
material with the skin may be irritating; wash exposed surface
thoroughly with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush out the
eyes with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician.
