4. White Beeswax Pure beeswax is used for making painting mediums and encaustic painting. Oldest known pigment binder. Beeswax is used as a protective coating (varnish) in painting, as a paint binder, and as a stabilizer in oil colors. It is usually available in the form of cakes, pastilles or prills, either bleached white or in its natural yellowish color. It melts between 62–65° C.

5. Candelilla Wax Excellent plasticizer with good chemical stability, water repellency and has a melting point higher than beeswax. It can be substituted wherever carnauba wax is used. A wax derived from the leaves of the small Candelilla shrub native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, Euphorbia cerifera and Euphorbia antisyphilitica, from the family Euphorbiaceae. It is yellowish-brown, hard, brittle, aromatic, and opaque to translucent.

6. Castor Wax Castor Wax is a non-hygroscopic organic derivative of castor oil. Use as a rheology additive in oil and alkyd paint, to add thixotropic body and prevent oil separation. Does not react with pigments and vehicles and does not detract from the durability of paint. Assists in the stabilization of water-in-oil emulsions. Add 1–2% of total pigment weight. Castor wax exhibits relatively high solubility in hydrocarbon solvents (such as mineral spirits). It is insoluble in water and alcohol, but is readily soluble in benzene and common organic non-polar solvents when warm.
