 Abhinav Bhushan, you may want to look at Alco 552 wax from Nikka-Seiko,
in Japan. =20

What you are trying to do is very common in the Hard Disk Drive
industry. I am currently working with several manufacturers to develop a
dispensing process to apply the wax in discreet areas.

Subject: [mems-talk] one more wax question=20

Hi,

I want to use wax as a sacrificial material. I am looking for one which
will melt at >100 C, preferably 125 C, and which can be dissolved in a
solvent (acetone, hexane, etc). I was wondering if anyone has worked
with or looked into a product like this. I looked online for wax, most
of the ones available were used for mounting samples, I am not sure how
clean the surface would be after removing the wax. The wax I have right
now melts at 60 C, so I cant use it the way I want to. I will appreciate
any help.
