Microcrystalline Wax Used For Candle

The principle behind the use of microcrystalline wax in candle manufacturing is primarily based on its unique physical and chemical properties, including a high melting point, low shrinkage rate, good flexibility, and compatibility with oil phases.
â??Reduced wax and oil dripping: Its low shrinkage rate and good ductility prevent shrinkage cracks or surface oil separation during the candle cooling process, making it particularly suitable for blending with plant-based waxes prone to oil separation, such as soy wax and coconut wax.
Enhanced surface smoothness and luster: Microcrystalline wax develops a luster through friction and has a pure white color, giving candles a translucent appearance reminiscent of cellophane, thereby enhancing the product's quality and appeal.
