4. Chlorinated paraffins - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorinated_paraffins

   Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are complex mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes (paraffin wax). The chlorination degree of CPs can vary between 30 and 70 wt% . CPs are subdivided according to their carbon chain length into short-chain CPs (SCCPs, C 10–13 ), medium-chain CPs (MCCPs, C 14–17 ) and long-chain CPs (LCCPs, C >17 ).

5. Microcrystalline wax - Wikipedia

   The melted wax can be cast to make multiple copies that are further carved with details. Jewelry suppliers sell wax molded into the basic forms of rings as well as details that can be heat welded together and tubes and sheets for cutting and building the wax models. Rings may be attached to a wax "tree" so that many can be cast in one pouring.

6. Thickening agent - Wikipedia
