Stronghold 7136 GF Hard Wax is primarily used for the temporary mounting of flat optical pieces for polishing or grinding. Also, for use in mounting ceramics, ferrites and gemstones for grinding or other machining operations. Stronghold 7136 is resistant to many common solvents including water, and is solid at room temperature and softens at 74-76C (165-170F).
Waxes are used to hold down glass lenses, prisms, semiconductors, or ceramics and ferrites during all phases of production. These waxes are used when mechanical clamping is not reasonable. They are temporary, and are easily removed when the process is complete, using a solvent or other means. The term used in the industry, such as wax often has little to do with the ingredients of these materials.
