USING PARAPLAST X-TRA WAX
Paraplast X-Tra is a low viscosity, general purpose, infiltration wax formulated to melt at very low temperatures
(122°F or 50°C) and strengthen both starch and plaster powder parts. This material cures rapidly and enhances
the vibrancy of color parts. Paraplast is available in a case of eight 2.2 lb. (1 kilogram) bag of chips.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Liquid wax is hot and may cause burns. Follow all recommended safety precautions for your Z Corp. Waxer.
• Wear gloves when handling hot parts.

ENERAL APPLICATION NOTES
• Parts should be dried in an oven at 100°F (38°C) prior to infiltrating with wax for deeper wax penetration.
• If the part is bulky, you may preheat it at 150°F (66°C) for up to 30 minutes.
• Soak part in liquid wax tank (follow all tank manufacturer’s instructions).
• Remove infiltrated part from waxer.
• Place part in an oven at 150°F (66°C) until the wax has penetrated or melted off your part (usually around 15
minutes).
• Be aware that these are simple guidelines. Your specific applications may require additional steps.
CURING INFORMATION
• Allow your parts to cool after removal from the oven until the part is no longer warm to the touch.
