The wax and Armak 1259 are heated to and maintained at 100-105 degrees C. Add acetic acid and increase temperature to 105 degrees C, and hold for 20 minutes. At this time heat one-third of the required water to 95 degrees C and add to it the hot wax mixture slowly. Avoid vortexing to prevent foaming. Cool to 90 degrees C; then add the remaining water. Cool this dilution to below 40 degrees C and add Armak 1954
