This amorphous mineral wax from Utah is available in a number of grades varying in hardness, melting point, and color.
Properties (Crude)
| Melting Point | 73ºC |
| Cloud Point | 76ºC |
| Acid Number | 0 |
| Saponification Number | 0 |
| Iodine Number | <1 |
| Sulfonation Residue | 100% |
Solubility
Slightly soluble in most organic solvents when cold. Solubility increases rapidly on heating, so that Utah wax becomes very soluble in practically all commercial organic solvents, with the exception of methyl and ethyl alcohol, glycol, and glycerine. Its best solvent is carbon disulfide.
Solutions made by heating retain a fluid character when cooled, if the concentration of wax is not too high. Otherwise, they set into pastes or gels of the nonsweating variety[2].
Uses
Dance-floor wax, floor and furniture polishes, linoleum polish, shoe polish, leather dressings, rubber goods, candles, wax figures, carbon paper, wax bottles, waxed paper, electrical insulation, waterproofing fabrics, impregnation of wood, electrotypers' molding compound, pattern-makers' wax, waxing artificial flowers, wax crayons, salves and face creams[3].
