JEL-SET® Pattern Wax

Westech pattern waxes have been the standard for reliability and quality for over 20 years. Pattern wax is the foundation of the investment casting process, and quality, consistent wax is crucial for investment casters to make a great casting.

Westech’s full line of pattern waxes is manufactured in the USA using our ISO-certified processes, developed and tested by our in-house laboratory, and distributed globally.

Our full line of pattern waxes for investment casting includes:

• Filled Waxes

• Non-Filled Wax (our innovative JEL-SET® Wax)

• Soluble Waxes

• Utility Waxes

Our newest remarkable innovation in pattern wax is our non-filled JEL-SET® line.

JEL-SET® - The Science of Wax

Investment Casting Wax: A cutting-edge improvement.

Westech Wax Products’ pioneering JEL-SET® Pattern Wax is a true innovation: a colorful, easy-to-use, non-filled wax that works like a filled wax, reduces shell cracking and increases productivity.

Westech’s JEL-SET® Pattern Wax works in a much wider range of injection temperatures, significantly reduces flow lines and gets the sink characteristics of a traditional filled wax. Our JEL-SET® wax is a non-filled wax -- so you recover more in the recycling process and it’s perfect for today’s low temperature injection machines.

The benefits are huge:

• Unique “JEL” formula: This wax offers far less sink than other non-filled waxes and many filled waxes! This means you’ll have less handling issues, and fewer issues keeping your filler in suspension…because there won’t be any!

• Injects like filled wax: Our brand-new JEL-SET® wax injects like a filled wax. This means you’ll have fewer flow lines and fewer cavitation repairs but guess what? No filler!

• Unique "plastic" behavior: Our chemists call it viscoelastic -- it’s the stretching and bending abilities of a wax as it transitions through temperatures. It’s crucial to sound wax injections and to de-waxability. This ultimately reduces shell cracking -- especially on the newer Flash Fire units. You’ll get more productivity, at lower costs.

• Proven better: Our autoclave and flash-fire tests have proven that JEL-SET® wax reduces shell cracking compared to other “old school” waxes!

• Pick your perfect injection temperature: This wax is easily used at extremely low temperatures, so it’s great for units designed for “paste” waxes. This means you get shorter dwell times -- and again, more productivity.

• Improves surface finish: Our tests showed that the new JEL-SET® wax improved casting surface finish significantly when compared with filled waxes.

• Improves details: JEL-SET® wax picks up ALL the important details from the mold. You can capture those details and textures in your casting like never before.

• Colorful: The bright green color isn’t just for fun. It helps you distinguish between wax products in the room, and can even help you with defect identification. On top of that, your team will have a little bit more pride in being unique, although having a little fun isn’t so bad!

• Easy to use: A new JEL-SET® guide is available for today’s modern injection machines. With this information, you'll never be guessing, and always getting the best results in all situations.
