Record Type: concept
punic wax (bleached beeswax, beeswax, ... Materials (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A particular type of processed beeswax that was used in encaustic paintings. Punic wax was probably made by combining beeswax with soda lime to produce a waxy soap. Repeated washings in hot water removed any excess caustic. Experiments conducted in Berlin to recreate an ancient recipe yielded flakes of a hard brittle wax that melted between 73-75C (163-167 F).
