wax (organic material, <materials by composition>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Any solid or semi-solid substance that is slightly greasy to touch, usually solid, translucent, and has a low melting point; waxes are not a chemically homogeneous group. Waxes are composed of long chain hydrocarbon compounds, and may contain esters of fatty acids and alcohols, are thermoplastic and melt at low temperatures of between 40 and 100 C. In general, waxes are water-repellent, smooth, soluble in organic solvents, and classified as animal (e.g., beeswax), vegetable (e.g., bayberry), mineral (e.g., paraffin), or synthetic (e.g., polyethylene). Waxes are used for polishes, candles, crayons, sealants, coatings, adhesives, waterproofing, carbon paper, media in encaustic and wax emulsion paintings, and as repellents in wax-resist watercolor paintings.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 任何觸感稍為油膩、通常為固體、半透明、熔點低之固態或半固態物質。蠟並非一個化學同質群體，而是由長鏈烴化合物組成，可能含有脂肪酸酯和醇，具熱塑性塑料，熔於攝氏40到100度的低溫。一般來說，蠟防水、光滑、可溶於有機溶劑，並經分類為動物（如蜂蠟）、蔬菜（如楊梅蠟）、礦物（如石蠟）、或合成物（如聚乙烯蠟）。蠟用於擦亮劑、蠟燭、蠟筆、密封劑、塗層、膠黏劑、防水、複寫紙、蠟畫或乳蠟畫的媒材，以及蠟飾水彩畫的防水劑。 |
| Dutch ..... Aanduiding voor diverse materialen die, hoewel ze geen chemisch homogene groep vormen, bepaalde fysieke kenmerken gemeen hebben, en meestal vast en doorschijnend zijn en een laag smeltpunt hebben. |
| Portuguese ..... Qualquer substância sólida ou semi-sólida que seja levemente gordurosa ao toque, geralmente sólida, translúcida e com baixo ponto de fusão; ceras não são um grupo quimicamente homogêneo. As ceras são compostas por compostos de hidrocarbonetos de cadeia longa, podendo conter ésteres de ácidos graxos e álcoois, são termoplásticas e fundem em baixas temperaturas entre 40 e 100 C. Em geral, as ceras são hidrorrepelentes, suaves, solúveis em solventes orgânicos e classificado como animal (por exemplo, cera de abelha), vegetal (por exemplo, bayberry), mineral (por exemplo, parafina) ou sintético (por exemplo, polietileno). As ceras são utilizadas para polidores, velas, giz de cera, selantes, revestimentos, adesivos, impermeabilizantes, papel carbono, suportes em pinturas encáusticas e emulsões de cera, e como repelentes em aquarelas resistentes a cera. |
| Spanish ..... Designa una variedad de materiales los cuales, aunque no sean un grupo químicamente homogéneo, comparten ciertas características físicas tales como ser habitualmente sólidos, translúcidos y tener un bajo punto de fusión. |
