EX-Wax™ Extrudable Tooling Wax

This well-known Extrudable Wax material from Gruber offers the best characteristics of both fillet wax and modeling clay. EX-Wax leaves a smooth radius, doesn’t contain solvents, tools easily, and is extrudable. Offered in box or case quantities. A box contains 12 sticks, and weighs 2 lbs. A case contains 12 boxes of 12 sticks each, or 144 total sticks.

Manufacturers have reported much success in using EX-Wax as their radius material, particularly during hot summer months when clay use becomes difficult. In high temperatures, solvent, the ingredient in clay that makes it workable, becomes more active and can cause headaches such as the breakdown of release wax on the mold's surface and the inability of the clay to properly hold its shape during casting. Since EX-Wax is "solvent-free", problems in your plant relating to "gelcoat lift", "pre-release", and finished part appearance, are greatly reduced. EX-Wax is available in two formulations (soft and hard) based on the season during which it will be used, so please specify when ordering.

EX-Wax can be applied without heat, and extruded through our Clay (or Wax) Extruders. Use an Extruder to quickly create perfectly formed strands of EX-Wax radius material. To use Clay Extruders, you must select at least one size of Wax Extruder Tubes as well. These tubes are available for use with either the Pneumatic Clay Extruder or our Manual Clay Extruder model.

Tooling Clay

Tooling Clay is used for the same purposes as EX-Wax and Tooling Wax - to create a smooth radius between the edge of a floating bowl mold and the surface of the vanity deck on which it is positioned. Like EX-Wax, no special applicator tools or heat are required in its use. The clay can be extruded in the size required through the Gruber Clay Extruder.  Packaged in 20 stick, 5 lb. boxes or 200 stick, or 50 lb. boxes of individually wrapped 4 oz sticks.
