Hope someone can help ...
Context:
The commercial wax chosen, Shamrock S-368 N5T, is known in the industry as a fine particles stir-in type wax, and served as a control, while the ink formulation containing no slip and rub additives served as ** "blank" ** for these experiments. |

1 hr confidence:  | rub additives served as Blindprobe
Explanation:
The LEO-Online Dictionary says 'blank' is a 'Blindprobe'. So the second part of the sentence would be:
..., während die Tinten-Rezeptur ohne Gleit- und Reibmittel als ** "Blindprobe" ** für diese Versuche diente.
