Beeswax is flammable: big no no
Some fuses use silica sand as damping agent. Fusible elements do noticeably "twitch" on initial power application. May extend life by limiting metal fatigue.
Follow Ups:
It melts at 140F and flashes in the 350-400F range.
It is not explosive from what I can find.
It is used (in combination with ceresin and ethyl cellulose) as a potting material for electrical equipment.
solder melts at 500 F (depending on the solder)
beeswax could possibly leak out and be a potential fire hazard b depending on location,
While caps and such use beeswax they are not intended to reach such high temperatures although I have seem older caps leak out wax.
