Synthetic waxes are long-chain hydrocarbons lacking functional groups. Firefox has chosen a synthetic wax with a high melting point of 280-293 ºF, a medium hard wax which remains stable under prolonged molten conditions (flash point C.O.C. 530 ºF Min) that allow it to fill the niche of a solventless and/or non-curative/crosslinking type, instead, a heat activated pyrotechnic binder and a non-toxic fuel in white smoke formulations. It is a superfine white powder and therefore easily homogenized into mixes which can then be pressed into most any shape and heated to melt/activate it as the binder. We have tried it in rocket propellants, tactical screening smokes, delay and smoke tracking charges and other formulations where visible white smoke is warranted or as the sole fuel for low smoke applications. For those of you who cast their own bullets, it's high melting point makes it excellent for bullet lubes as well!
