Abstract

This thesis is concerned with the melting points of various waxes and the effect of Halowax 1012, 1013 and 1014 upon their physical constants. Interest in this problem was aroused "by the fact that Halowax as shown by Nathan Smith in his thesis, "The Effect of Halowax Upon Lubricating Oils and Greases”, decreases the viscosity of oils. Since lubricating oils contain waxes it is logical to expect that this decrease in viscosity is due to the lowering of the melting point of the waxes present. It was to investigate the truth of this assumption that this work was begun.
