Optimal Timing for Adding Stearic Acid to Candles
On the best time to add stearic acid to wax
When making wax and adding stearic acid, it is necessary to observe the shape and working order of the wax.
When the wax first melts, the fire is intense and the temperature is high, and the wax gradually flows. At this time, if stearic acid is added sharply, the acid enters the wax, because of the temperature, or the acid-causing properties change, and the mixing is not uniform, and the quality of the wax is deficient. Therefore, when the wax first melts, it is not suitable for adding acid.
When the wax melts and the temperature gradually drops, it is in a state of near-condensation. This is the best time. At this time, the temperature of the wax is suitable, and the stearic acid enters it, which can be melted evenly. The acid should be in harmony with the wax, increase the firmness of the wax, and control the burning of the wax, so that the candle flame is stable and the wax is consumed evenly.
Or before the wax is shaped, it is also good to add stearic acid before the wax liquid is poured into the mold. At this time, the wax temperature is controllable, the acid enters and melts quickly, and it is integrated with the wax liquid. After the mold is tilted, the wax coagulates and has a uniform quality, and the candle is well-formed and has good properties.
In general, if stearic acid is added to the wax, the wax temperature and the process are checked, and it is done before the temperature is close to the condensation or the mold is tilted, the wax quality is excellent, and the candle is well used.
