Can Partall® Paste #2 be used in high heat applications?

No, Partall® Paste #2 is not designed for use in applications exceeding 120°F (~50C) as wax may begin to melt and may not provide adequate protection. Use Partall® Hi-Temp Wax for higher process temperatures up to 350°F (177C) or FORMULA FIVE Semi-Permanent Mold Releases®. Partall Hi-Temp Wax contains polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon®) that bonds to the mold surface and continues protecting after waxes have melted away, resulting in high temperature resistance. Because Partall® Hi-Temp Wax does not contain silicone it can usually be used in applications where silicone-based waxes hinder post-finishing operations, such as painting and bonding.
