Wax Extrusions – Casting Wax Sprues

Product code: 1584-C

Unit Weight in kg: 5

Description

A medium wax offering ample flexibility and sufficient rigidity make this wax particularly suited for making sprues. Sold by weight in 500mm lengths.

Sprues are soft and pliable wax extrusions used in lost wax casting for gating and runner systems.

Sprues form a mount for the wax pattern and create a channel for the elimination of wax. They form a channel for the entry of molten metal, providing a reservoir to compensate for alloy shrinkage. British Wax provide red and green coloured wax sprues, with the red option being more flexible.

British Wax circle sprues are available with a diameter of 1.6mm (1/16″) to 64mm (2 17/32″). We offer a cored (hollow) circle sprue with an outer diamter of 15.8mm (5/8″).

Our square sprues are also available in a range of sizes with the side mesaurement varying from 9mm (3/8″) to 35mm (1 3/8″). A cored version of this product is also available with a side measurement of 12.7mm (1/2″).
