Rapeseed wax plates 5256
This rapeseed wax is a carefully adjusted mixture of hardened and partially hardened rapeseed oil, with a small proportion of other waxes. This product is free of paraffins from mineral oil. Our rapeseed wax 5256 is natural white to light yellow with a dropping point of approx. 52 - 56 °C. The product meets the requirements of the European directives and national regulations for the production of candle burning mass. Rapeseed wax is produced from the rape plant. During the manufacturing process, the rapeseed oil is pressed out of the rapeseed grain and then hardened to wax. As a domestic renewable raw material, rapeseed is biodegradable. Rapeseed has a good ecological balance in the overall process. This is due to the fact that this raw material has short ways and the extraction can be carried out on existing cultivated area.
Application
This rapeseed wax with a low to medium melting point is suitable for candles in containers and jars. With its natural light colouring, rapeseed wax can be coloured with wax colours. In the candle production with rapeseed wax the candles receive a porcelain-like appearance, the colours are slightly less intensive, pastel shades can be obtained easily by less addition of the wax colour concentrate. The processing and burning behaviour of rapeseed wax is approximately the same as that of paraffin wax, if a wick is used that is suitable for natural waxes, such as our round candle wick BWR. In addition our rapeseed wax is also ideally suited for the addition of fragrance oils, as it has excellent retention properties for fragrances, which can develop their full aroma especially when burnt. Nevertheless, appropriate firing tests / manufacturing trials should be carried out before each replacement. We supply the wax offered here in 5 kg plates, units under 5 kg consist of fractions.
