Potential Uses
 1. Hydrogenated Wax (Solid)
 Emulsion- good stability and excellent hardness suggest a variety of applications.
 Candles when combined with other waxes burns with a bright, essentially smoke-
 less flame; high melting point; may increase burning time of candle.
 Textiles sizing for yard goods.
 Polishing wax for floors, furniture and automobiles.
 Protective coatings on fruit, food preparations, and paper containers.
 Cosmetics for lipsticks.
