MWH135 (Quickstick 135) is a crystal clear wax. High hardness and strength make it ideal for diamond wheel cutting, wire saw cutting, abrasive slurry cutting, ultrasonic cutting, lapping and polishing etc. The Quickstick 135 wax is widely used with semiconductors, optical materials, ceramics and metals with small contact areas. It removes easily in acetone and methylene chloride, but resists most other common solvents.

MWS052 is a tan coloured wax which is translucent in thin films. Its softness makes it most useful with abrasive slurry cutting of materials and is best suited to non-porous surfaces such as glass or polished metal with a reasonably large area. MWS052 is easily soluble in a variety of solvents.

MWM070 is an orange coloured wax which is translucent in thin films. Moderate hardness and strength make it useful for bonding small samples in diamond wheel sawing and wire sawing operations. Widely used for holding semiconductors, optical materials, ceramics and metals with medium to large contact areas. Removes easily in warm soapy water.

MWH080 is an amber coloured wax which is translucent in thin films. High hardness makes it ideal for sawing, ultrasonic cutting and lapping/polishing operations. Best suited to vitreous materials, polished metal surfaces, semiconductors and piezoelectric materials with contact areas. Chemical resistant.
