To help distinguish among the various qualities, grease soluble dyes are added to the wax. However these identification dyes have no effect and do not appear in the finished product. Slight variations in identification colour hues have absolutely no effect on the quality of the wax. Penetration is the measurement of wax hardness. The penetration unit of measurement is the penetration depth of a test needle in 1/10 mm. The applications mentioned and the technical suggestions regarding use are merely indicative and not binding. The best quality and product suitability must be determined by the user by his own appropriate tests, that are carried out under his responsability.
