polyfin embedding paraffin

PolyFin™ Paraffin

A mixture of fine paraffin waxes and copolymer alloys in convenient pellets. Produces ultra-thin compression-free ribbons. It is used to cut 2um sections routinely without icing. Functions flawlessly in pressure/vacuum fluid flow processors. Provides maximum support for both hard and soft tissue samples while maintaining exceptional clarity. Low melting point eliminates excessive heat distortion during tissue processing. Melting point 55°C.
