Abstract
This invention relates to the use of hydrocarbon polymers for example of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,060,569 to bind oil contained in waxes so that, in end use performance, the wax more closely equals fully refined wax. Among other things, the hydrocarbon polymer not only inhibits and/or prevents the oil in the wax from 'sweating' or exuding to the surface but also hardens the wax. The hydrocarbon polymers can also be used to thicken oil to a paste or gel.
