Domestic Paraffin Wax 50 KG

Domestic Paraffin Wax

• Paraffin wax, generally obtained as a by-product from the refining of crude oil, is purified using special techniques to improve its oil content, melting point, color, and odor, making it ready for use.
• The recommended melting point is 70°C.
  
  The oil content of domestic paraffin wax is between %0.5-1.
  
  If producing container candles from domestic paraffin wax, there is no need to use any additives. If making a free-standing candle, 10% of Stearic Acid (a hardening agent) should be added.
• The melting point of domestic paraffin wax is in the range of 58 to 60°C.
• Domestic paraffin wax is suitable for use in the forestry, paper, construction, agriculture, coating, and cosmetic industries.
• Due to its chemical nature as a water-repellent and inert substance, paraffin wax is commonly used as a water-repellent agent in applications where water is undesired or has adverse effects.
• Additionally, due to its low thermal conductivity, paraffin wax behaves like an insulating material, making it frequently used in coatings, physical therapy, cosmetics, and medical fields.
• How to Make Candles with Domestic Paraffin Wax
• Melt the solid paraffin wax in a pot over low heat. Be sure to use an old pot for this process.
• Add the stearic acid. Stir until it turns into a liquid, then add the candle dye as a coloring agent.
• Do not 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 wax 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.
