While it can be used with samples of any size, it is \neasier to achieve a uniform wax thickness preparing larger \nsamples (≥ 10 mm2). It is typically used for dicing, thin sections \nand parallel delayering. \n \nSheet wax is resistant to acetone and non-soluble \nin water; use Allied’s Wax Dissolver (#71-10210) \nto remove it from the sample and fixture after \nuse. \n \n \nInstructions \n1. Cut out the sheet wax to fit the required sample shape. \n2. Remove the lining from the back of the sheet wax, place the wax on a fixture/paddle and \nplace the sample on the wax. \n3. Place the fixture with the sample and wax on a hot plate at 150 ºC. \n4. The wax will be completely melted when all the bubbles have spread out. This will create \nan even, uniform layer. \n5. Remove the fixture from the hot plate and allow it to cool at room temperature. \n6. To remove the sample after preparation, place the fixture back on the hot plate and \nreheat the wax. Once the wax is soft, remove the sample. Sheet wax is not effective after \nthe first use since the wax layer has already been thinned out. \nNote: Do not quench the fixture to cool the wax; the wax may become brittle, causing \nthe sample to break off. \nTechnical Information \nFlow Point \n100 °C \nTensile Strength \n120 psi \nShore Hardness \n80 A \nFlow Point \n100 °C \n
