Hi, carnauba wax listed as 2.9 dielectric coe. and this kent wax is 6.5 to
7.5 dielectric coe. superman looses this time. cul brian f.
That's a very high epsilon. I'd suspect it is a wax loaded with
particles of something else that has a high dielecric constant
(alumina, water?). I found one vague reference to it being a
component in a lubricant, so I doubt it's alumina. Tree Sap? Pine Tar?
