    There is a low melting point of wax, after melting, add a little diesel, and after cooling, it becomes a soft gelatinous translucent jelly wax. And you can add transparent colors and flavors as needed, so that you can be called transparent, with a faint fragrance on its own. Hope it helps, and you can continue the discussion if necessary.

    The most common material used to make candles is paraffin, as well as yellow wax, tallow, sperm whale fat and other materials in honey.

    Production method: 1. Put paraffin, stearic acid and trace chemicals in an aluminum pot and melt them, and pour them into a machine mold that is pre-coated with oil and has been equipped with a candle wick to calm the trouble;

    2. Before pouring in, fill the candle machine water tank with cold water and circulate it to promote its condensation. The white cotton thread is bleached with bleaching powder, and the candle does not emit black smoke after it is lit, and the brightness is large;

    3. It can also be dried in a ventilated and dry place, but it cannot be exposed to the sun, so as not to cause a physical and chemical reaction and lose its effect.

    4. Take 100 grams of b-cyclodextrin, 300 ml of water, add 10 grams of lavender after stirring, and evaporate in the pot until it dries into a powdery chemical package for later use.

    The main raw material of the candle is paraffin, paraffin is made from the wax-containing fraction of petroleum by cold pressing or dewaxing, which is a mixture of several high-grade alkanes, mainly n-dosecane and n-octadecane, containing about 85% of carbon and about 14% of hydrogen.

    The added excipients are white oil, stearic acid, polyethylene, flavor, etc., among which stearic acid is mainly used to improve softness, and the specific addition depends on what kind of candle is produced.

    It is easy to melt, the density is less than that of water, and it is difficult to dissolve in water. It melts into a liquid state when heated, colorless and transparent, and is slightly volatile when heated, and can smell the unique smell of paraffin. When cold, it solidifies into a white solid form with a slight special odor.

    Candle glue generally refers to hot melt sticks.

    It is rod-shaped opaque, non-toxic, easy to operate, and has no carbonization phenomenon for continuous use, with the characteristics of rapid adhesion, high strength, aging resistance, non-toxicity, good thermal stability, and toughness of the adhesive film. The shape is rod and granular.

    Hot melt glue stick is a solid adhesive made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) as the main material, adding tackifier and other components. It has fast bonding, high strength, aging resistance, non-toxicity and good thermal stability. It can be used for wood, plastic, fiber, fabric, metal, furniture, lampshade, leather, handicrafts, toys and electronics, electrical components, paper products, ceramics, pearl cotton packaging and other interadhesive solids, which can be widely used in factories and families.

    Scope of use: used in plastics, metals, wood, paper, toys, electronics, furniture, leather, handicrafts, shoe materials, coating, ceramics, lampshades, pearl cotton, food packaging, speakers, etc.

    Operation method: use the hot melt glue stick with the glue gun, use the hot melt glue gun to glue, put the glue stick into the hot melt gun, plug in the electric heating for a while, and the glue will flow out of the muzzle when the trigger is pulled. You can also directly use a lighter to burn one end of the hot melt glue stick, apply it to the place to be sticked, and wait for the glue to become solid. Bonding paper cartons, handicrafts, handmade, etc., is convenient and easy to use, and is stronger than general glue.

    Production process: 1According to the formula ratio of hot melt glue stick, the raw materials are weighed and added to the reaction kettle. Heat it up to melt and stir well.

    Then the melted rubber in the reaction kettle is cooled to a certain temperature and put into the running extruder, and the extrusion speed of the extruder can be selected according to the different rubber types. The extruder extrudes the hot melt adhesive into the water tank through a trapped extrusion hole on the extrusion head, the hot melt adhesive is immediately shaped when it encounters the cooling water, the glue rod is preliminarily cooled and shaped through the first cooling water tank, enters the second cooling water tank through the traction of the traction machine, the glue sample is fully cooled and shaped in the second cooling water tank, and the running speed of the glue stick in the water tank is controlled by the extrusion speed of the extruder, so that the traction speed of the traction machine and the extrusion speed of the extruder are synchronized.

    2.Adjust and control the relationship between extrusion speed, cooling setting speed and traction speed, and then cut and pack the cooled glue rod into a finished product.

    Appearance color: yellow, light yellow, white, translucent, fully transparent and other products.

    The main ingredient, paraffin, easy to melt, less dense than water, insoluble in water.

    It melts into a liquid state when heated, colorless, transparent and slightly volatile when heated, and can smell the unique odor of paraffin.

    When cold, it solidifies into a white solid form with a slight odor.

    The composition of the candle is complex, but it is extracted from oil.

    Oil extracted from the ground is called"**"After distillation with many different boiling points, gasoline, diesel, and so on can be distilled, and later the product can get a white solid, which is paraffin, that is, the raw material of candles.

    Hello, candles are made from paraffin wax, which is made from the waxy fraction of petroleum by cold pressing or solvent dewaxing.

    It is a mixture of several higher alkanes, mainly n-dodosecane (C22H46) and n-octadecane (C28H58), containing about 85 carbon elements and 14 hydrogen elements. The added excipients are white oil, stearic acid, polyethylene, flavor, etc., among which stearic acid (C17H35COOH) is mainly used to improve softness, and the specific addition depends on what kind of candle is produced.

    Most candles on the market use paraffin wax because of the low cost, and the disadvantage is that it is easier to produce black smoke. A little better with soy wax. Eloma Aromatherapy.

    Answer: Wax is the most important raw material for making candles, which can be divided into natural wax and artificial wax. Natural waxes include soy wax, beeswax, coconut wax and ice flower wax. Artificial waxes are made from paraffin, minerals and polymers extracted from petroleum, and jelly waxes also fall into this category.

    There is a small misunderstanding in this, many friends mistakenly think that artificial wax is harmful, but in fact, it is not, and the refined artificial wax is safe and non-toxic.

    Wax is a complex mixture of organic compounds, different waxes, their chemical composition and physical properties are different, when choosing a certain wax or several waxes as the wax material of candles, it is necessary to understand the differences in properties between them, and at the same time complement each other, control the appropriate melting point range, oxygen content and diffusion effect of these three indicators.
