As we all know the hard paraffin wax a type of the material.But do you know even the paraffin wax,the are still many different types.Today I will give you some more details about it.
Firstly about the paraffin wax,there are really many types.Paraffin is a kind of amorphous, the melting point is uncertain, generally the melting point is 49~51℃.
Paraffin wax is divided into food wax, fully refined paraffin, semi-refined hard paraffin and soap wax, etc., each category is divided into 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, etc. according to the melting point.Generally, paraffin will be divided into different varieties and grades every 2 ℃.
As I said above, paraffin wax has many melting points, and its melting point also affects its hardness to a certain extent, so the hardness of paraffin wax is closely related to the melting point of paraffin wax.
The higher the melting point, the higher the hardness. Therefore, the choice of paraffin wax for different customers also depends on the customer’s requirements for paraffin wax.
But wanting a stronger hard paraffin wax is not limited to the limitation of the high point in the day. In normal candle production, a lower melting point can actually help manufacturers save more resources, such as heat energy, and a lower melting point is more It is easy to melt and save more electricity or heat energy.
When your production volume is large, it is also very important to choose a suitable melting point and make appropriate trade-offs, which can help you save more costs.
Among these methods, if you want to make a candle with a low melting point and a stronger sturdiness, a very good way is to add additives. After the hardparaffin is melted, you can try adding high molecular weight polyisobutylene, which is a colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid or elastic rubber-like semi-solid (low molecular weight is soft gelatinous, high molecular weight is tough and elastic) .
All are tasteless, odorless or have a slightly specific odor. The average molecular weight is 200,000 to 87 million. Soluble in benzene and diisobutylene, miscible with polyvinyl acetate, wax, etc., insoluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohol.
It can make gum candy have excellent softness at low temperature and certain plasticity at high temperature to make up for the shortcomings of polyvinyl acetate which is too hard when cold, excessively softened when it is hot and mouth temperature.
The finally introduce our paraffin wax shapes.Like I said above, the high hardness also determines its usual state. Under normal circumstances, the state of hard paraffin wax is white solid, and the shape is mostly block.
In terms of packaging, we usually use 50kg per bag. The block shape is not only convenient for storage but also conducive to our handling.
Therefore, I think that from the perspective of paraffin, the current paraffin is not only in terms of hardness or its own characteristics. most advantageous.
About the waxing process of candle machine
1. Follow wax: Add some water to the pot, put the solid paraffin into the pot (can melt the paraffin into wax water), melt it into liquid wax water until the pot is added to the configuration pigment color.
Soy Wax is a vegan wax made from the complete oiling of soybeans. Like honey, it is considered a natural wax, and 100% pure soy wax is often used in containers of soy wax.
Paraffin wax is a hydrocarbon mixture extracted from some distillates of petroleum, shale oil or other bituminous mineral oils. The main component is solid alkanes, odorless and tasteless, and it is a white or light yellow translucent solid.
Paraffin is a purified mixture of solid saturated hydrocarbons. Paraffin wax is a flaky or needle-like crystal obtained from lubricating oil fractions obtained by distillation of crude oil through solvent refining, wax freezing crystallization, and press dewaxing to obtain wax paste, and then solvent deoiling and hydrofining.
With the increasing popularity of scented candles, and the diversification of various candles, events need to be held, the atmosphere needs and incense. The demand for raw materials to make candles is also increasing.
