Significance and Use

Blocking of waxed paper, because of the relatively low temperatures at which it may occur, can be a major problem to the paper-coating industry. For example, when the waxed surfaces in a roll of waxed paper stick together, upon separation the surface films are marred and the glossy finish is destroyed. The wax picking point and the wax blocking point indicate an approximate temperature range at or above which waxed surfaces in contact with each other are likely to cause surface film injury.

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the blocking point and picking point of petroleum wax.
