👉 Candle fluid, also known as paraffin wax or hydrocarbon wax, is a versatile and widely used substance in candle making. It's primarily composed of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum or natural gas, and it serves as the main component that forms the solid or semi-solid structure of a candle. When melted, candle fluid has a low melting point, typically between 130°F and 180°F (54°C to 82°C), allowing it to be easily melted and poured into molds. Once cooled and solidified, the fluid retains its shape, creating a stable wick-holding form. Candle fluid can also be blended with various additives to modify its properties, such as scent throw, color, and texture, making it a crucial element in producing customized candles with specific characteristics.
