LANOLIN WAX
broken pieces - melting point 100° to 110° F
Wikipedia: Lanolin is used as a primary lubricating component in aerosol-based brass lubricants in the ammunition reloading process. Mixed warm 1:12 with highly concentrated ethanol (usually 99%), the ethanol acts as a carrier which evaporates quickly after application, leaving a fine film of lanolin behind to prevent brass seizing in resizing dies. This same solution can be used on rocket coring spindles before casting the propellant. Lanolin is also the main ingredient in bullet and bore lubes; when mixed with ingredients such as neatsfoot oil, beeswax and glycerol, is used in various leather treatments, for example in some saddle soaps and in leather care products; Baseball players often use it to soften and break in their baseball gloves (shaving cream with lanolin is popularly used for this); Lanolin is used commercially in many industrial products ranging from rustproof coatings to lubricants. Some sailors use lanolin to create slippery surfaces on their propellers and stern gear to which barnacles cannot adhere. Commercial products (e.g. Lanocote) containing up to 85% lanolin are used to prevent corrosion in marine fasteners, especially when two different metals are in contact with each other and saltwater. The water-repellant properties make it valuable in many applications as a lubricant grease where corrosion would otherwise be a problem.
Mica, Motor Mica, Gimsheen 30
30 micron powder, Mineral Muscovite, potassium aluminum silicate. Specific gravity 2.82, CAS# 12001-26-2, ph 6.0 – 7.5. Stock #C162E
Wikipedia; 'Muscovite (also known as common mica, isinglass, or potash mica) is a phyllosilicate mineral of aluminum and potassium with formula KAl2(AlSi3010)(F,OH)2, or (KF)2(AL203)3(Si02)6(H20). It has a highly perfect basal cleavage yielding remarkably thin laminae (sheets) which are often highly elastic'.
Gimsheen 30 is a water-ground muscovite mica processed for optimal aspect ratio and finds its main use in barrier coatings and polymers. This 30µ functional filler is resilient and adds strength, stiffness and flame/heat resistance of 1300°C/2372°F, with low to no heat distortion and shrinkage. Gimsheen 30 also finds applications in rigid and semi-rigid insulation and structural foams and in adhesives to improve like properties. Muscovite is in high demand for the manufacture of fireproofing and insulating materials, as a lubricant in oils and waxes (including, but not limited to, motor oils, liquid lubes, powder lubes and wax based bullet lubes), and as a base in facial makeups. Similar (???) powder mica sells for $20.00 to $29.00 per pound on Ebay.
Mineral Oil
-
paraffin oil, fog oil
Used as a protective coating agent and binder in flare formulations, and increases smoke density, and reduces the mess when mixing dyes in color smoke mixtures. It is also used extensively as a fog oil, where it is heat vaporized into white "fog". U.S. Military Surplus.
Stearic Acid
[Cl6H36O2] N-octadecanoic acid(sometimes called stearin), flake
For low activity fuel, blue flames. Also used as a phlegmatizing agent to "stabilize" or reduce the sensitive natures of mixtures and supply easier pressing or consolidation. Often used with chlorate mixtures for this purpose. It is also added to paraffin wax to make candles and soaking cotton string for candle wicks. For use in bullet and bore lubes, it increases the hardness of waxes and binds the ingredients, including solids, together so they do not seperate and/or settle before the wax cools.
