Candle Wax
What Are Candles?
A candle consists of an ignitable wick embedded in wax or another solid fuel. Paraffin wax is the most widely used commercial candle fuel because its melting point, hardness and appearance can be adjusted for different candle types. Khavaran Paraffin supplies candle-wax grades and custom blends for container, pillar, molded and decorative candles.
There are several commercial standards for candles. In the United States candles are required to have at least 60 percent paraffin wax.
Additives such as stearic acid or carnauba wax can be blended with paraffin wax to adjust hardness, appearance, softening point and melting point.
Candle manufacturing involves three main steps
- Making The Wick
- Preparation Of Wax
- Molding The Candle
Candle Quality Control
Various Standards have been applied by many countries to prevent harmful effect of candles on the user’s health or adversely affect the aesthetic appearance of the candles or their suitability for use. The most restricted standards for candle are RAL GZ 041 requirements. In particular the following requirements have to be met at the point in time when the raw materials or additives are handed over from supplier to candle manufacturer.
