• Metal (such as brass and bronze)

• Wood accelerated ageing tests, the British Museum scientist found that all current commercial waxes based on the usual natural waxes (beeswax and carnauba wax) contained acids which, in time, could spoil original finishes on national historic collections of furniture. He rejected them all and investigated the new so-called \'fossil\' or microcrystalline waxes being refined out of crude oil. With their distinct characteristics depending on their geographical origins, the new \'man-made\' waxes could be accurately blended to meet the needs of many industries, from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to heavy engineering. Thus, the waxes combined Nature\'s best qualities with the advantages of modern technology.

  The blendwhich emerged from that research was \'designed\' for long-term protection of all classes of museum exhibits. At last museum technicians and others caring for important collections could use wax polish that neither caused future conservation problems nor detracted from the intrinsic values of their treasures.
