Hardening Additive for Candles 133

Description

The candle hardening additive from Naturcera is formulated to increase the hardness, strength, and stability of molded or decorative-shaped candles.

Vegetable waxes, being naturally softer, can present issues with deformation, breakage, or softening, especially in warm climates or during demolding. This additive works by reinforcing the wax structure, achieving a more solid candle, heat resistant and with better definition of mold details.

Ideal for creating decorative, sculptural, or artistic candles that maintain their flawless shape even after several hours of exposure or handling.

🧪 Main Benefits

✅ Increases the hardness and strength of the candle without affecting its color or scent.
✅ Facilitates demolding, reducing the risk of breaks or cracks.
✅ Improves the definition of mold details (lines, textures, reliefs).
✅ Prevents deformation in warm environments or during transport.
✅ Compatible with all types of vegetable waxes and paraffin blends.
✅ Enhances the visual finish, providing a firmer and more professional texture.

🔧 How to Use

1. Melt the base wax (vegetable or mixed) until reaching the usual working temperature.

2. Add the hardening additive in a proportion of 2% to 8% of the total wax weight, depending on the desired hardness level.

3. Mix well until fully dissolved.

4. Add fragrance and colorants as usual.

5. Pour the mixture into a clean and dry mold, preferably silicone or metal.

6. Allow to cool in a controlled manner and carefully demold once fully solidified.

💡 Tip: For small or delicate-shaped candles, it is recommended to use between 3% and 4%. For large or sculptural candles, it can be increased up to 8%.
