Beeswax has a relatively low melting point range of 62 °C to 64 °C (144 °F to 147 °F). If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 °C (400 °F). Density at 15 °C is 958 kg/m³ to 970 kg/m³. Natural beeswax: When cold it is brittle; at ordinary temperatures it is tenacious; its fracture is dry and granular. The sp. gr. at 15 °C [59 °F] is from 0.958 to 0.975, that of melted wax at 98 °C to 99 °C [208.4 °F to 210.2 °F] compared with water at 15.5 °C [59.9°F] is 0.822.
