What are the chemicals that can be added to paraffn wax that will give a different texture to the candle?

Question

i make candles, when i add mineral oil for example, candles become molted. do u know other chemicals that give other results?

Answer 1

You can add stearic acid (stearine) - this makes the candle "whiter" and it burns with a warmer flame.

Answer 2

try adding isoproyl alcohol to melted wax. once the wax cools and you light the flame you get a tower of flame. it's pretty fun, but has a high fire risk so i only do it with tealights

Answer 3

stearic acid. the more you add in the mixture the harder will your candle be.
