Soy Wax Candle Blend Wax Pastilles
DESCRIPTION
Soy Wax Candle Blend Pastilles -
Soywax Candle Blend Pastilles are ideal for making candles. The soy wax candle blend pastilles are a mixture of pure soy wax and other natural ingredients. Individual candle shapes with a very smooth and fine surface structure can be made with soy wax. After cooling, soy wax has a very fine material surface of a light beige color, which serves as the basis for elegant and high-quality candles. The wax burns soot-free and is easy to demould. Soy wax melts at around 65°C.
Soy wax is free from paraffins and other petroleum-based ingredients. It is made from soybean oil, which is extracted from soybeans and is therefore a sustainable alternative to paraffin wax. Soy wax conserves other important resources, is a natural and sustainable raw material that is biodegradable and renewable.
Soy wax is produced by hydrogenation. Under high pressure of around 200 bar and a high temperature of 200° to 300° C, soybean oil is bubbled with ultrapure hydrogen with the help of a metallic catalyst, usually nickel, until it has turned into a wax-like mass that contains a high proportion of long-chain fatty acids .
Due to the pastille form, the wax is particularly easy to handle and the desired amount can be quickly melted in a water bath.
Application:
Soywax Candle Blend Pastilles can be used to make candles, pillar candles and jar candles. The easy demolding and the smooth, fine surface structure of the wax enable excellent results with individual candle shapes. The candles made from soy wax Candle Blend burn almost soot-free.
Soywax Candle Blend has a similar melting range and burning behavior as paraffin, so it can also be processed like paraffin when making candles.
But also in other areas, e.g. B. in the cosmetics sector, soy wax can be used as a biogenic sealing product.
Processing:
In addition to the soy wax pastilles themselves, wicks and corresponding candle colors are still required for candle production.
To melt the wax, the pastilles are dissolved in a water bath. If the wax is heated directly in the pot, uncontrolled heat development and burning of the material can occur.
Colorants or fragrances can be added during the melting process. When pouring candles with colored wax, care must be taken to ensure that the color is mixed in well. The pigments often settle at the bottom of the melting pot.
When making scented candles, it is important to ensure that the proportion of additives is not too high, as otherwise the hardening and burning properties of the finished candle can be impaired.
The wax can then be further processed by drawing or casting. After the wax mixture has hardened, the finished candle can be demolded. This is easier if the mold is poured over with hot water.
Precautions:
Wash hands, forearms and face with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking and when leaving work. To avoid the formation of vapors, the workplace should be well ventilated. Do not smoke. Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapor or aerosol. Only use non-sparking tools and do not expose to open fire.
Storage:
Store in a sealed container in a cool, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight.
