AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for manufacturing biopolymer-containing candles, such as those described in US 1,644,115 and WO 00/56846 A1, suffer from long curing times and inefficient processes.
A method involving the use of sprayable biopolymer preparations, which are sprayed and cured quickly, allowing for the production of biodegradable and flame-retardant composite materials, including candles, by utilizing biopolymers like gelatin and polysaccharides, with additives like cellulose and fibers, and employing techniques such as spraying, thermoforming, and immersion in liquid biopolymer preparations.
This method significantly reduces curing times, produces biodegradable and flame-retardant composite materials suitable for candles, and allows for the creation of compostable products with enhanced mechanical properties and aesthetic features.
