A suitable composition for use in the method comprises an intimate mixture of (a) petroleum wax in an amount of from 3 to 8% by weight of the composition, from 15 to 60% by weight of said wax being in microcrystalline form, (b) paraffin oil in an amount of from 6 to 15% by weight of the composition, and (c) the topically acceptable refrigerant or mixture of refrigerants.</p> |
