Abstract
Abstract An improved crayon wax composition having a wax base, stearic acid, pigment and an additive mixture which comprises polyethylene having a molecular weight between 500,000-6,000,000 is disclosed. Use of the polyethylene in small amounts enables the replacement of higher melting point waxes with low-melting point paraffin wax of 120°-140°F, while still maintaining the required performance qualities of the crayon wax.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
An improved crayon wax composition containing a base wax, stearic acid, and a pigment wherein the improvement consists essentially of an additive mixture of: a. polyethylene having a molecular weight of about 500,000-6,000,000 wherein the polyethylene is in the amount of about 0.10%-10% by weight of the total composition; and b. paraffin wax having a melting point of about 120°F-140°F.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
An improved crayon wax composition containing a base wax, stearic acid, and a pigment wherein the improvement consists essentially of an additive mixture of: a. polyethylene having a molecular weight of about 500,000-6,000,000 wherein the polyethylene is in the amount of about 0.10%-10% by weight of the total composition; and b. paraffin wax having a melting point of about 120°F-140°F.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
Crayon wax composition according to claim 1 wherein the base wax consists essentially of paraffin wax having a melting point of about 140°F-165°F, and a microcrystalline wax having a melting point of about 140°F-210°F.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
Crayon wax composition according to claim 2 wherein the base wax consists essentially of the paraffin wax in the amount of about 30%-95% by weight, the microcrystalline wax in the amount of about 1%-5% by weight, the stearic acid in the amount of about 10%-50% by weight and the pigment in the amount of about 0.5%-25% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A crayon wax composition consisting essentially of: a. polyethylene having a molecular weight of about 500,000-6,000,000 wherein the polyethylene is in the amount of about 0.25%-5% by weight of the total composition, b. paraffin wax having a melting point of about 120°F-140°F, c. stearic acid; and d. pigment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
A crayon wax composition consisting essentially of: a. polyethylene having a molecular weight of about 500,000-6,000,000 wherein the polyethylene is in the amount of about 0.25%-5% by weight of the total composition, b. paraffin wax having a melting point of about 120°F-140°F, c. stearic acid; and d. pigment.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
