Darent Wax has products to suit most applications. Read More MACHINABLE CASTING A hard, dimensionally stable material that can be both machined and used as an investment casting wax has found several applications in arts and crafts. JEWELLERY CASTING The investment casting technique or 'The Lost Wax' process has been in use since the ancient civilisations such as the Egyptians and Greeks. It is a process that involves moulding a piece in wax where it can be joined or finished to a good standard, dipping it in a ceramic slurry and allowing it to harden. Read More SCULPTING WAX We supply a range of Sculpting Waxes from easily carved speciality paraffin waxes to complex, filled waxes for making model figures by moulding, carving or machining. Waxes are available with varying degrees of hardness to suit your application and method, free form or tool. CANDLE MAKING Darent Wax produces several grades of Jelly Wax for the production of clear jelly candles. We also supply paraffin waxes, opacifiers, overdips and container waxes, and waxes for making outdoor garden candles. BATIK The ancient art of laying out a design on fabric, dyeing it and removing the wax prior to repeating the process several times so that a picture or fashion design has been created, requires waxes having specific melting point, viscosity and flexibility.
