It has a density of 1.17–1.20 g/cm 3, [1] [16] which is approximately half that of glass, which is generally, depending on composition, 2.2–2.53 g/cm 3. [1] It also has good impact strength, higher than both glass and polystyrene, but significantly lower than polycarbonate and some engineered polymers.
Beeswax candles are purported to be superior to other wax candles, because they burn brighter and longer, do not bend, and burn cleaner. [15] It is further recommended for the making of other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. [16] Beeswax is also the candle constituent of choice in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The seal-making device is also referred to as the seal matrix or die; the imprint it creates as the seal impression (or, more rarely, the sealing). [1] If the impression is made purely as a relief resulting from the greater pressure on the paper where the high parts of the matrix touch, the seal is known as a dry seal ; in other cases ink or ...
