Fatty acid candle and method for manufacturing same

Abstract

The invention discloses a fatty acid candle and a method for manufacturing the same; the candle comprises a surface crystallization regulator and a fatty acid mixture consisting of hexadecanoic acid and octadecanoic acid; the weight percentages of hexadecanoic acid and octadecanoic acid in the fatty acid mixture can be divided into two ratio zones: 65-80% of hexadecanoic acid and 20-35% of octadecanoic acid are contained in one ratio zone; and 30-50% of hexadecanoic acid and 50-70% of octadecanoic acid are contained in the other ratio zone. The method for manufacturing the fatty acid candle comprises the following steps: after heating the object to the temperature of 120 DEG C, pouring into a mould and naturally cooling to form a hard husk; and adding the solid crushed blocks that are the same as the poured liquid mixture in components, or pouring into the stainless steel candle machine mould cylinder at the temperature of 30-35 DEG C; and after fully cooling, de-molding to obtain a fatty acid candle with a smooth and uniform surface. The fatty acid candle has the advantages of being reproducible, biologically degradable, nontoxic and low-cost; and the manufacturing method enables the surface of the candle to be smooth and free from cracking.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a fatty acid candle and a preparation method thereof. Background technique: [0002] At present, traditional candles are made of paraffin as the main material. However, candles made of paraffin as the main material have the following three disadvantages: 1. Due to the continuous consumption of global oil resources, the oil supply is generally tight and the price is generally higher. , Therefore, paraffin derived from petroleum is becoming more and more scarce, and the price is also rising, which greatly increases the cost of candle production; 2. Paraffin cannot be biodegraded, and candles made of paraffin as the main material are produced or used. 3. Paraffin candles will produce substances harmful to the human body when they are burned. In view of the above three shortcomings, many candle manufacturers in the world have begun to use some renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic and environmentally friendly materials such as fatt...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, traditional candles are made of paraffin as the main material, but there are three disadvantages in making candles with paraffin as the main material: 1. Due to the continuous consumption of global oil resources, the oil supply is generally tight and the price is generally high Therefore, paraffin wax derived from petroleum is becoming more and more in short supply, and the price is also rising, which greatly increases the production cost of candles; 2. Paraffin wax cannot be biodegraded. 3. When paraffin candles burn, they will produce harmful substances to the human body.

In response to the above three shortcomings, many candle manufacturers in the world have begun to try to use some renewable, biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly materials such as fatty acids to replace paraffin wax, but because these materials are less machinable than paraffin wax. In the process of making candles, it is easy to crack, it is not easy to form a uniform and uniform surface effect, the ductility is poor, it cannot be extruded with powder, and it is easy to produce cavities when pouring. making candles
