Optical Blocking & Polishing

COM Beeswax Cakes (OP9025)

Beeswax is available in 3 grades; commercial, refined, and ivory. Each grade has increasing quality, respectively.   Beeswax is predominately used to make other blocking pitches and waxes less brittle.  

COM Beeswax Slabs (OP9026)

Beeswax is available in 3 grades; commercial, refined, and ivory. Each grade has increasing quality, respectively.  Beeswax is predominately used to make other blocking pitches and waxes less brittle.  

Dymerex Polymerized Rosin (PD9025)

Dymerex Polymerized Rosin is a modified rosin that is pale, acidic, and has a high softening point.  It is composed predominantly of dimeric acids derived from rosin with lesser amounts of monomeric resin acids and neutral materials of rosin origin.  

IVORY Refined Beeswax Cakes (OP9069K)

Beeswax is available in 3 grades; commercial, refined, and ivory. Each grade has increasing quality, respectively.   Beeswax is predominately used to make other blocking pitches and waxes less brittle.  

Optical Quality Rosin (PD8005)

OPTICAL QUALITY ROSIN is an excellent non-crystal, ready to use, rosin obtained from pine resin. It leaves a non-volatile, transparent, brittle glassy solid ideal for blocking precision optical lenses. OPTICAL QUALITY ROSIN can be added to any natural polishing pitch to increase the hardness, tack, and friction.

Optical Quality Rosin Low Melt (PD8005L)

Optical Quality Rosin Low Melt is an excellent non-crystalline ready to use rosin obtained from pine resin.  It leaves a non-volatile, transparent, brittle glassy solid ideal for blocking precision optical lenses.   Optical Quality Rosin Low Melt can be added to any natural polishing pitch to increase the hardness, tack, and friction.

Paraffin Wax (OP9052)

Paraffin wax is a semi-hard temporary cement used for a variety of blocking and holding applications.  Paraffin wax is commonly used for blocking together a series of lenses or work pieces that are to be edged or profiled.  Other applications include thin film blocking, blanchard wheel work, spot blocking surface protection and a variety of uses where semi-hard, high tack materials are desired.  

Pure Shellac Sticks Dozen (PS0050)

Shellac Sticks are a hard blocking compound which exhibits high adhesive strength and minimal shifting during processing.  Shellac Sticks are commonly used for blocking together a series of lenses or work pieces that are to be edged or profiled.  Other applications include thin film blocking, Blanchard wheel work, spot blocking, surface protection and a variety of uses where semi-hard, high tack materials are desired.  This material is very viscous when melted and should not be used where a thin film blocking material is desired. 

Refined Beeswax Cake (OP9067)

Beeswax is available in 3 grades; commercial, refined, and ivory. Each grade has increasing quality, respectively.  Beeswax is predominately used to make other blocking pitches and waxes less brittle.  

Refined Beeswax Slabs (OP9068)

Beeswax is available in 3 grades; commercial, refined, and ivory. Each grade has increasing quality, respectively.   Beeswax is predominately used to make other blocking pitches and waxes less brittle.
