Shiva products offers inlay / pattern wax. The basic classification from our side is being done based on hardness and stiffness of waxes.Softer waxes are more flexible and are used as base , harder waxes are less flexible and stiff and are used as build up.
Orange pattern wax : soft type for onlay patterns of crowns and bridges used for rapid production of patterns as very easy in carving.
Blue wax : harder than orange wax.

Magenta wax : hard inlay wax.
Ivory inlay wax : it has got ivory colour & hardness as blue inlay wax. The different colours add colour contrast to dentures.
Properties & advantages
The wax does not withdraw on solidifying , i.E it does not lift off the edges while solidifying.
Has got good flowing and carving properties.
The softer waxes are flexible enough to form base of wax patterns
The harder waxes add strength to the wax patterns and are used for build up.
The harder waxes are stiff enough for using as undercut waxes and margin waxes where less thickness of wax and high strength for the given thickness is required.
Packing
The wax comes in plastic box packing of 100/250 gms packing.
