Abstract
Wax compositions are provided with improved properties for various applications, such as coating of composite cellulosic materials, e.g., composite wood material, more specifically oriented strand board. As described herein, wax compositions include a kinematic viscosity measured at 100° C. of ≤13.1 mm2/s; and a contact angle on glass of ≤34.4°, which provide enhanced water proofing properties. The wax composition may have a flash point of greater than 450° F. Wax composition are provided with improved properties for candle jars. As described herein, candle jar wax compositions include 150N foots oil and 600N slack wax. The wax composition can include up to about 80% 150N foots oil.
Claims19
A wax coated article comprising a composite cellulosic material having a surface including a wax coating, wherein the wax coating comprises a wax composition comprising a paraffin wax, the wax composition having a flash point of at least 425° F., a kinematic viscosity measured at 100° C. of ≤13.1 mm2/s, and a contact angle on glass of ≤34.4°.
A method of manufacturing a wax coated article comprising the steps of providing a cellulosic material, and applying a wax composition comprising a paraffin wax to the cellulosic material, the wax composition having a flash point of at least 425° F., a kinematic viscosity measured at 100° C. of ≤13.1 mm2/s, and a contact angle on glass of ≤34.4°.
