150 Fully Refined Paraffin wax for Candle Making
Used in candle making due to its high purity and excellent burning properties.
Clean Burn – Produces minimal soot and smoke, ensuring a cleaner burn.
Longer Burn Time – Its refined composition allows candles to last longer.
Smooth Finish – Creates a glossy, professional-looking surface.
Strong Fragrance Retention – Holds scents well, making it ideal for scented candles.
Versatile Applications – Used for pillar, votive, and container candles.
How to use:
Heat the paraffin wax to its melting point, typically between 58°C to 68°C
Use a double boiler or a wax melter for controlled heating.
Once melted, mix in fragrance oils and dyes if desired. Paraffin wax holds scents well, making it ideal for scented candles.
Carefully pour the melted wax into candle molds or jars. Ensure the wick is centered for an even burn.
Allow the wax to cool and harden at room temperature. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracks.
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting to ensure a clean, steady flame.
Common blends:
Paraffin & Soy Wax (70:30 or 80:20) Improves burn quality while maintaining paraffin’s smooth finish.
Paraffin & Beeswax (50:50 or 70:30) – Enhances hardness and extends burn time.
Paraffin & Coconut Wax (60:40 or 70:30) – Creates a creamy texture with better fragrance retention.
Paraffin & Palm Wax (80:20 or 90:10) – Adds a crystalline effect and improves durability.
All details and recommendations above are intended as a general guide to assist new users. This guide serves as a helpful starting point for candle makers, but actual performance may vary depending on vessel diameter, fragrance type and load, colorants, additives, and production methods. For best results, customers must conduct their own test burns to determine the correct wick size and ensure safe, satisfactory performance.
