NOTE:
Each mold and each wax is different in its pressure, temperature and mold holding time requirements. The correct combination of factors can be achieved only through experience with each mold and each wax. For easy future reference these factors should be noted on the mold itself.
In addition, a mold's characteristics change as hot wax is repeatedly injected into it. The correct combination of factors for a cold mold may not be the correct combination of factors for the same mold after it has become warm through repeated use. The cooling time between injections - too much or too little - is thus also a factor.
For best results select the right Castaldo SuperCera wax for the requirements of the mold and to meet production needs. (See wax selection chart).
CAUTION:
Molten injection waxes are FLAMMABLE at temperatures in excess of 350°F/177°C.
CAUTION:
Hot injection waxes can cause skin burns. Avoid contact with skin. Adequate eye protection and protective clothing is strongly recommended.
