How To Add Stearic Acid To Paraffin Wax
On the method of adding stearic acid to paraffin wax
Anyone who wants to add stearic acid to paraffin wax should first understand the properties of the two. The paraffin wax is dense and stable, and it is solid at room temperature, and melts when heated. Stearic acid is also solid, but its melting point is slightly lower than that of paraffin wax.
If you want to combine the two, you first need to prepare a device. Take a clean kettle, preferably iron or copper, because its heat conduction speed is uniform. Also prepare a thermometer to measure the temperature of the contents of the kettle.
First place the paraffin wax in the kettle, and slowly heat it over a low fire. The fire should not be fierce, lest the paraffin wax overheat and qualitative change. Use a thermometer to explore it, and when the temperature rises to about 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, the paraffin wax gradually melts into a liquid.
At this time, stearic acid is slowly added to the molten paraffin wax. When adding, slowly stir with a wooden spoon or glass rod to disperse the stearic acid evenly. The amount of stearic acid depends on the desired characteristics. If you want to increase the hardness of the mixture, you can add a little more; if you only want a little improvement, you should add less.
Add stearic acid, you still need to continue stirring, and the temperature is controlled in an appropriate range, about 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. In this way, stearic acid can be fully integrated with paraffin wax. After stirring for a few moments, it can be stopped by seeing that it is uniform and free of impurities.
When the mixture is gradually cooled, its quality is fixed, and stearic acid and paraffin wax have been merged into one phase to obtain the desired material.
When operating, be sure to pay attention to the control of heat and temperature, and do it in a well-ventilated place to prevent harmful gas. In this way, a good mixture can be obtained for all purposes.
