Paraffin Wax
:
Only 2% of crude oil is
converted into lubricating oils, and a small percent
of that processed into wax products. Paraffin and
Microcrystalline are separated from lubricating oils
during vacuum distillation. Fully refined products may
be filtered to remove color and odor.
When most people think
of wax, in any form, the wax they generally think of
is probably a paraffin wax. It is one of the most
plentiful and multi-use waxes used today. A by-product
of the crude oil refining process, in its raw form, it
is a white, odorless, tasteless, "waxy" solid, with a
typical melting point between about 110°F to 150°F,
and while it's very inert, it burns really well.
Pretty much any type of
candle can be made with paraffin wax. The melting
point is the primary determinant of the type of candle
you can make with it & Paraffin wax, classified as a
chemical preservative, is widely used on fruits,
vegetables, and candy to make
them shiny and pretty as well as to retard moisture
loss and spoilage. Waxes are made from vegetable oils,
palm oil derivatives, and synthetic resins, as well as
other materials. Some people, notably those who are
allergic to aspirin, may be sensitive to many waxes,
depending on their ingredients.
-
Low
melt point paraffin (less than 130°F) is used for
container candles
in jars, cups or glasses
-
Medium melt point paraffin (130°F - 150°F) is used
for candles that need to stand on their own -
votives,
pillars
and other molded candles
-
High
melt point wax (greater than 150°F) is used for more
special applications like
hurricane candle shells,
over dipping
and other special candle making applications.
