Partial acyl glyceride based biowaxes, biocandles prepared therefrom and their preparation

Abstract

The present invention relates to a biowax comprising a partial acyl glyceride selected from the group consisting of a monoacylglyceride, a diacylglyceride and the combination thereof. The present invention also relates to a biocandle comprising a biowax and a wick, and to a method of producing the same.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a biological wax (biowax), the main component of which is partial acylglyceride (PAG). The invention also includes a biological candle made of the biological wax and a method for manufacturing the candle. Background technique [0002] Many types of candles have been developed on the market, and these candles are traditionally made of paraffin and / or natural waxes. These typical candles can be divided according to their shapes and uses: container candles, votive candles, pillar candles, taper candles, and tea-light candles And whirlwind candle (hurricane candle). [0003] For a long time, waxes obtained from nature, such as beeswax (beeswax palmitate) and spermaceti (cetyl palmitate), etc., have always been used as the main raw material wax for making candles. Recently, with the development of the petroleum refining industry, petroleum waxes, such as paraffin, have gradually become the basic raw materials for making candles. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, candle wax formulated from vegetable oil-based materials often creates many problems

Compared with paraffin-based candles, candles based on vegetable oils have a number of disadvantages such as cracking, formation of air pockets, and natural product odors associated with the original material, such as soy

In addition, soybean oil-based waxes also have performance-related issues: flame size, wax and wick matching issues, maximum burn time, product color integrity and / or product shelf life, etc.
