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 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. Paraplast X-Tra Wax can be used in both the ZW3 and ZW4 Waxers.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Liquid wax is hot and may cause burns. Follow all manufacturer recommended safety

precautions for your dip tank prior to use.

• Wear gloves when handling hot parts.

GENERAL 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 dip tank.

• 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.
