THE PROCESS OF MAKING VARIOUS KINDS OF CANDLES | HOW TO MAKE A CANDLE
Hello Rekayasa Produksi friends,
The ancient Egyptians and Romans had been using hard wax from 3,000 BC. At that time candles were made of papyrus paper dipped in melted fat or beeswax. These candles are used to illuminate roads, houses and for religious ceremonies. Then the development of modern candles as we know them began in 1824 when the French introduced wicker candles. while liquid wax or solid paraffin from petroleum, became popular in the 1860s and was eventually mixed with spermaceti (Shark's fat) and ceresin to make long-lasting wax. Then the production of the candle making industry began from that time.
In America the standard material for wax production consists of 60% paraffin, 35% stearic acid, and 5% beeswax. Some candles contain a small amount of candelilla or carnauba wax (from carnauba palm) to regulate the softening or melting point of the wax.
The essence of any candle making process is to place a wick made of woven or cotton rope in the center of the paraffin. While the method and method of placing this will vary by manufacturer depending on what kind of candle they produce. However, all of these methods are based on the simple principle that hot wax will turn hard and white when in contact with cold air or a cold surface.
In this video, Production Engineering will invite you to see the process of making candles.
