The present invention relates to a method for producing a
gelatin-containing
composite material, in particular a
composite material, wherein a
biopolymer preparation is provided in sprayable form, the sprayable
biopolymer preparation is sprayed, and the material is cured. The invention further relates to a method for producing a
biopolymer-containing material, in particular a
composite material, wherein a substrate is immersed in a liquid biopolymer preparation, and the biopolymer preparation is cured. The invention further relates to a method for producing a
candle comprising a combustible material, a wick, and a casing in which the combustible material and the wick are arranged, wherein a biopolymer-containing composite material is provided according to a method described above for forming the casing.A further aspect of the invention is a method for manufacturing a
candle comprising a combustible material, a wick, and a casing in which the combustible material and the wick are arranged, wherein, to form the casing, a liquid biopolymer-containing material, in particular a composite material, is filled into a mold, and the mold is moved to distribute the liquid
gelatin-containing material along the inner contour of the mold. The invention further relates to a
candle comprising a combustible material, a wick, and a casing in which the combustible material and the wick are arranged, wherein the casing is formed from a biopolymer-containing composite material.
