PLATER’S WAX MT-175 (Click here for safety sheet) Characteristics: Microcrystalline
Wax. Light to dark brown in color; five (5) eleven pound slabs per carton. Plater’s
Wax MT-175 is suitable for use in the following applications: Hard
Chrome Plating; Lead; Acid Copper; Indium; Gray and Sulphamate Nickel; NOTE: Do not use Plater’s Wax in any solution
where the temperature of the solution exceeds the melting point of the wax. APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1.
Plater’s Wax MT-175 must be liquefied prior to application. Use a wax
pot that is designed for liquefying the wax or some other device that will
slowly melt the wax. The wax should be held at a temperature not to exceed 188
degrees F. 2.
Before
applying Plater’s Wax MT-175, make sure the metal part has been thoroughly
cleaned and free from grease, oils and other contaminants. The adhesion of
Plater’s Wax MT-175 could be compromised if the part is not clean prior to
applying the wax. 3.
Dip the
metal part in the liquefied Plater’s Wax MT-175 and withdraw slowly. To
achieve a heavier buildup, dip the part in the liquefied wax two or three times
and withdraw quickly. Remove any excess with a sharp knife and clean the area to
be plated with naphtha or some clean solvent. 4.
After
plating, remove the part and rinse thoroughly in warm water. This will aid in
the removal of the wax from the part. Peel as much of the wax as possible from
the part and save for reuse. Boiling water will aid in the removal of any
remaining wax.
5.
Place the wax that was removed from the parts back into the wax pot or
other container. SPECIFICATIONS:
