Secret beeswax

揭秘蜜蜡造假术

1, aristocratic beeswax

It is notorious in the amber industry, it is the replica that makes the most people deceived. The raw material of the nobility beeswax is plastic, which was first created by Taiwanese and was born in the 1980s and is still poisoning consumers who have no recognition ability. It is characterized by bright colors, colorful and colorful.

2, trade beads

Trade beads refer to the wax-like imitations produced in Europe and the Middle East during the European colonial expansion period in the 17th century or earlier. They are also exported to China through the Silk Road, mainly Xinjiang. The raw material used is synthetic resin, mainly produced by the Germans. Known as the "trade pearl", it is often sold in the name of "Middle East Beeswax" and "African Beeswax".

These trade beads are now copied to Europe, China and other places. Although they are imitations, they have a certain cultural background and historical significance. They are also loved by some Europeans, and they are expensive. Some foreign experts also use these beads. Made pricing. In China, it deceives consumers in the name of “old antique beeswax”.

3, modern plastic replica

Plastics mainly include phenolic resin, casein plastic, safety celluloid, aminoplast, plexiglass, polystyrene and other materials.

Early plastics had a distinct flow structure. Recent plastics can be copied from color to sunflower, much like amber. Plastics, although imitation of amber, are very realistic, but the refractive index and density can be distinguished. The density was measured with saturated saline, and only the polystyrene density was 1.05 g/cm3, suspended in saturated saline, most of the plastic was allowed to sink in saturated saline, and the amber was suspended. Plastics have a refractive index between 1.50-1.66, but are rarely similar to 1.54 for amber. When a knife is used to cut an object in an inconspicuous area, the plastic will peel off and the amber will have a small gap. With the hot needle test, the plastic will have various ambiguities, and the amber has a fragrant aroma. When burned, the plastic melts and the amber leaves only a scar.

Hard resin is a semi-penetrating resin with a very new geological age. Its composition is similar to that of amber, but it does not contain succinic acid and its volatile content is higher than that of amber. Physical properties are similar to amber, but more susceptible to chemical attack. Test method: Drop a drop of ether on the surface of the hard resin and rub it by hand. The hard resin will soften and stick, and amber does not. Under short-wave UV lamps, hard resins are strong white fluorescent. Contacting the hard resin with a hot needle is easier to melt. It is also possible to encapsulate natural or artificially placed animals and plants in hard resins.

4, bakelite imitation

Bakelite's chemical name is phenolic plastic, which is the first plastic to be put into industrial production. This type of imitation is rare and not difficult to identify.

5, high imitation goods

These products are very similar to the real products, mostly made by Russian and German technology. If you are not careful, you may be fooled.

The characteristics of fake blood spurs are: the color is too red, the interior is as clean as water, and the natural structure and inclusions of amber are not observed.

This kind of pig skin frozen structure novice medicine, and smart business is only a few in a series of homes, and some even do not know the business, no wonder everyone will be fooled!

Such so-called old beeswax beads can see microscopic red in the edge part, which is the characteristic of baking color, there will be a small red dot in the magnified observation, this is also very medicine!
