Description

PX-15 Pitch is a highly adaptable pitch used for a variety of blocking applications.  PX-15 Pitch is specifically designed to yield high strength, with ease of use for lenses or large precision applications.  

Application

Depending on application, PX-15 Pitch can be applied in two basic methods:
Pre-melt PX-15 Pitch in a controlled heating vessel, and apply or pour molten wax to blocking plate or lap, and then mount the workpiece.
Pre-heat the blocking plate or lap and work piece, and wipe the wax across the heated tool and mount the workpiece.
PX-15 Pitch can be removed from the parts by using Uniclear. For best results, please consult with UPI technical staff to recommend optimal processing conditions.
