Problems solved by technology

Although it is widely used in the candle industry, paraffin wax has a long cooling rate and is subject to pitting and bubbles arising during the candle manufacturing process.
However, the use of hydrogenated vegetable oil also has a number of disadvantages, including high consumption of energy during the hydrogenation process, and high costs for transportation, storage and handling because hydrogenated vegetable oil is solid at room temperature and can oxidize easily.
The transportion and storage costs and troubles are especially concerning during the cold winter since hydrogenated ...

example 1

[0024]This example is a candle composition formed mainly from olive oil and 100% natural ingredients. The ingredients are:

[0025]Cool pressed pure extra virgin olive oil: 64%

[0026]Palm wax: 30%

[0027]Beeswax: 6%

[0028]Step 1: To make this candle, these three ingredients (olive oil, palm wax, and beeswax) are weighed and placed into a batch tank.

[0029]Step 2: Heat the batch tank in a hot wax bath (or a hot water bath) at a temperature of 80-90° C. Alternatively, one could melt the beewax first at a high temperature, and then bring the temperature to 80-90° C. and add the remaining ingredients. Stir all ingredients until completely melted and set the melted mixture to 75-80° C. The mixture will be a dark green colour. It is important to prevent the mixture from reaching temperatures greater than 90° C. or from being heated continuously for 10 hrs or longer.

[0030]Step 3: Prepare the candle container with wick and wick sustainer if needed (the size and type of wick may depend on the size o...

example 2

[0036]This example is a candle composition formed mainly from olive oil and paraffin blend. The ingredients are:

[0037]Cool pressed pure extra virgin olive oil: 82%

[0038]Fully refined paraffin: 10%

[0039]High melting point petrolatum: 7%

[0040]Polyboost 165: 1%

[0041]Step 1: Place all ingredients into a batch container or tank.

[0042]Step 2: Heat the batch tank in the hot wax bath at the temperature of 80-90° C. Stir until all ingredients are melted and set the mixture to reach a temperature of 75-80° C. The temperature of the mixture should not go above 90° C. or be heated for 10 hrs or longer.

[0043]Step 3: Prepare the candle container with wick and wick sustainer if needed (the size and type of wick may depend on the size of the candle). Heat the container to about 40° C. (using a heating element), then pour the proper amount of melted mixture into the candle container.

[0044]Step 4: Cool candle with fans for about 30-120 minutes (depending on the size of the candle and the cooling temp...

example 3

[0050]This example is a candle composition formed mainly from grape seed oil and synthetic hydrocarbon blend. The ingredients are:

[0051]Pure grape seed oil: 66.5%

[0052]EP858 Synthetic hydrocarbon: 28%

[0053]High melting point petrolatum: 5%

[0054]Polyboost 165: 0.5%

[0055]Step 1: Place appropriate portions of ingredients into batch tank.

[0056]Step 2: Heat the batch tank in a hot wax bath at a temperature of 80-90° C. Stir until all ingredients are melted and let the mixture reach a temperature of 75-80° C. The temperature of the mixture should not go above 90° C. or be heated for 10 hrs or longer.

[0057]Step 3: Prepare the candle container with wick and wick sustainer if needed (the size and type of wick may depend on the size of the candle). Heat the container to about 40° C. if the candle container is clear glass (for the frost jar and non-transparent container, not need to heat before pouring), then pour the proper amount of melted mixture into the candle container.

[0058]Step 4: Cool...

Abstract

A candle composition containing non-hydrogenated oil and at least one of long-chain hydrocarbon and long-chain hydrocarbon derivatives. A candle composition having non-hydrogenated oil and a solidifying amount of congealing reagent. A candle composition having paraffin, non-hydrogenated oil, and a solidifying amount of a congealing reagent comprising petrolatum, oxidized petrolatum, oxidized long-chain hydrocarbons, or modified hydrocarbons. A process for making a candle composition is also provided, the process comprising mixing together a non-hydrogenated oil and a congealing amount of a congealing reagent, heating mixture to a temperature of 75-90° C., preferably 75-80° C., then cooling the mixture and pouring into a container.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to candle compositions. In particular, this invention relates to candle compositions having non-hydrogenated oil and a process for making a candle composition having non-hydrogenated oil.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Candles have been used for centuries as a source of light and for their aesthetic appeal.[0003]Paraffin wax has been traditionally used in making candle wax, which conventionally comprises 80 to 100% paraffin wax. It comes in various grades and melting points, and is predominantly composed of fully saturated long chain hydrocarbons. Although it is widely used in the candle industry, paraffin wax has a long cooling rate and is subject to pitting and bubbles arising during the candle manufacturing process. Paraffin wax is also a petroleum by-product and is known to produce toxins, black soot and carcinogens. It would therefore be advantageous to eliminate or reduce the paraffin wax used in candles in favour of a “green...
