Domestic Paraffin Wax
- Paraffin, generally a byproduct of the refining of crude oil, is purified using special techniques to improve its oil content, melting point, color, and odor before being made ready for use.
- The recommended melting point is 70 °C.
The oil content of domestic paraffin is in the range of %0.5-1.
If making container candles from domestic paraffin, there is no need to use any additional byproducts. However, if making a free-standing candle, 10% Stearin (candle hardener) needs to be added. - The melting point of domestic paraffin is between 58 and 60 °C.
- Domestic paraffin is suitable for use in forestry, paper, construction, agriculture, coating, and cosmetic industries.
- Due to its chemical nature, paraffin is water-repellent and inert, making it commonly used as a water-repellent agent in applications where water is unwanted or has adverse effects.
- Additionally, due to its low thermal conductivity, paraffin behaves like an insulating material, making it frequently used in coating, physical therapy, cosmetic, and medical fields.
- How to Make Candles with Domestic Paraffin?
- Melt the solid paraffin in a container over low heat. Make sure the container used is old.
- Add the Stearin. Stir until it becomes liquid, then add candle dye as a coloring agent.
- Don't forget to add the fragrance along with the coloring agent. The fragrance will create a wonderful scent when the candle is lit.
- After securing the wick, pour the melted paraffin into your container using a double boiler method. Ensure the wick stands upright in the center.
- Trim the excess wick and let your candle sit at room temperature overnight.
