How to Prepare Wax and Lipstick Samples for Dropping Point Testing

The dropping point is defined as the temperature at which a liquefied substance falls through the opening of a cup under test conditions. This is a crucial thermal parameter for characterizing waxes and paraffins in the cosmetics and petrochemical industries. These substances are often used as raw materials, and their thermal behavior affects production, product quality, and applicability. Standards such as AOCS Cc 18-80 and ASTM D 3954 regulate wax measurements, and automatic systems like the METTLER TOLEDO DP70 greatly facilitate compliance with these standards. However, accurate results require proper sample preparation.
Follow the instructions in this video for preparing wax-like samples for automatic dropping point measurement.
