The term wax is commonly used to refer to a solid and heat-liquid natural material from the honeycombs of bees, but in the narrower sense the term wax encompasses many substances with different chemical properties. Basically, all substances with finely crystalline structures are considered to be wax, which exhibit a kneadable property at room temperature and change into a liquid state as early as 40 degrees. Beeswax fulfills this characteristic as well as vegetable waxes, which are obtained eg from palm trees or as wool wax fibrous origin. Wax has been used for centuries in the manufacture of candles, since this material burns with the aid of a wick under a sufficient oxygen supply and can be used more effectively as candle oil. Basically, most waxes burn odorless, but by combining with essential oils and similar substances, it is possible to produce aroma candles. In the modern manufacture of candles, only animal or vegetable wax is rarely used, instead synthetic solutions such as paraffin are used. This has similar properties as natural wax, but can be made simpler and cheaper, making it ideal for mass production of candles of all kinds. Various candles made of real wax can be found here on floristik21.de as well as paraffin variants.
