Domestic Paraffin Wax Candle 500g

Domestic Paraffin Wax

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