Wax has many industrial uses. Bonding wax protects small or fragile items from vibration. Hard natural wax is wear resistant and is often used as a polish or a mold-release agent for wax blends. Machinable wax can be turned, milled, drilled, tapped, carved or sawed easily without tool wear. Sealing wax protects containers from water leakage and is often used to lubricate tools. Sheet lining wax can create castings of die patterns. Tapping wax sticks prevent messes and waste in machining operations.
