Product Info
Gel wax, also known as gel paraffin, is a type of paraffin obtained from petroleum. It is produced through refining and multiple industrial processes of crude oil. It is used in candle making. The wax is transparent and has a flexible structure. It is odorless. Compared to regular paraffin, it has a burn time that is four times longer and burns cleaner. Its melting point is between 90-95°C, and its freezing point is between 50-60°C. Because it may be harmful to human and animal health, it is not recommended to inhale fumes directly during melting and solidifying. Use of a mask is advised. It is recommended to melt the product using a double boiler method and to stir continuously during melting. The melting process is not complete until the wax is fully liquid. Depending on your wick choice, soot and smoke may occur. As a flammable raw material, extra caution is advised when melting and burning the wax. Protect the product from excessive heat (above 32°C) and extreme cold (below 5°C). Storage at an average temperature of 18-21°C, which corresponds to the World Health Organization’s recommended room temperature, is suitable. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight. The product will be shipped in packaging consisting of two thick nylon bags, each weighing 5 kg.
