I think part of our problem is we don't have a way to compare the chain lengths on the waxes
I used to work with MEG-20 which was used as a binding agent in electro-ceramic lead based products.
now I know the 20 meant a 20 part carbon chain.
now...
if there was a way to rate different waxes in a manner such as that, a chain length could be used to describe different waxes.
it's a little frustrating to know how some 'oils' are made with carbon chains and alcohols much like bees-wax is an ester-alcohol chain, if the chain numbers could be used I think the picture might become a little clearer as far as to how things are relating to each other.
