Modified Crystals and Thermal Properties

In comparison to common candle components:

• Reduced 3-D contraction on cooling

− May help eliminate or reduce the need for top melts

− Can lead to more successful use in multiple-pour candles

• Lower heat of fusion and broader melting and crystallization

− Leads to faster, more even cooling

“Effective with soy, FT and paraffin waxes or blends thereof”
