Why Choose Paraffin Wax for Candle Making?
1.Superior Burn Quality
Longer Burning Time: Paraffin’s high oil content slows the melting time even up to 30% longer VS natural waxes.
Brighter Flames: Steady flames,perfect for decorative and functional candles.
2.Creative Flexibility
Easy Color Blending: Seamlessly integrates dyes for vibrant hues (Tip: Use 5-8% dye load for optimal saturation).
Texture Control: Adjust melting points (typically 52–66°C) to create layered designs or smooth finishes.
3.Economic Efficiency
High Yield: 1kg of paraffin wax produces 15–20 standard 8oz container candles.
Global Accessibility: Widely available and 20–40% more affordable than specialty waxes.
Wonderful choice for Candle Making
1.Precision Melting
Use double boilers to maintain safe temperatures (max 82°C) and prevent scorching.
Stir continuously with heat-resistant tools to ensure even consistency.
2. Wick Pairing Guide
| Wax Melt Point | Recommended Wick Size |
|---|---|
| 46–54°C | Small (e.g., LX-14) |
| 54–66°C | Medium (e.g., LX-20) |
Advanced Techniques
Additives: Boost performance with 3–5% stearic acid (hardness) or vybar (fragrance retention).
Layering: Pour wax at 65°C for clean stratification; chill molds between layers.
Critical Safety Protocols
Essential Precautions
Ventilation: Always work in well-ventilated areas – paraffin fumes may irritate respiratory systems.
Fire Safety: Keep a Class B fire extinguisher nearby; never leave melting wax unattended.
Skin Protection: Wear heat-resistant gloves – molten wax can cause 2nd-degree burns at 75°C+.
