What’s in Zipper Wax?

[Huvius]

Came across quite a few boxes of Zipper Ease wax sticks.
The place wants 15 cents per stick which is super cheap but not having miles of zippers to lube, I naturally thought of the possibility that it could be a viable boolit lube.
I did a search online but can’t seem to find much information on its composition.

Thank you.
That is quite comprehensive and a very good site to know about.
Still don’t know if it would be good or bad...
Anybody need some zipper wax?

Naphthenic acid corrosion occurs primarily in high-velocity areas of crude distillation units in the 430°F to 750°F


HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Naphthenic acids induced the production of both estradiol and progesterone in exposed H295R cells, and decreased the production of testosterone. Exposure to naphthenic acids caused an up-regulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor, and up-regulation of CYP1A1. The results indicated that these hydrocarbon pollutants have the potential to disrupt the vitally important process of steroidogenesis. The lethal oral dose for humans is approximately 1 L. ANIMAL STUDIES: In dogs and rabbits that received naphthenic acids (10 mg/kg, intravenously, and 5-15 mg/kg, intramuscularly, respectively), a notable effect was observed on hemopoiesis of both the red and white cells and a greater effect was observed on platelet formation. In acute tests, adult female rats were given single po dosages of naphthenic acids at either 3, 30, or 300 mg per kg body weight (mg/kg), while adult male rats received 300 mg/kg.
