Why are candles so popular?

How are candles made?

 Although modern technology has introduced greater convenience and quality control in waxing, most candles are made by the time-consuming process of placing a cotton wick in the candle which is then molded, dipped, extruded, pressed, shaped into a circular shape, designed or completed shape and size.


Candles are stored?

 While a candle can be stored for a long time, perfume or dye may eventually degrade. If you decide to store candles, wrap them in cellophane or cling film and store them in a cool, dry place. This will not be affected by humidity, light and air.


What kind of chemical reaction occurs when a candle burns? 

When you light a candle, the heat of the flame melts the candle near the wick. Thus the molten or liquid wax acts as fuel for the wick and then evaporates into the atmosphere.


What kind of candle is usually used in candles?

 The most common candle is paraffin. Beeswax, soy, palm, jelly and synthetic wax are also used. Different mixtures of these candles are also popular.


How long do I have to light a candle?

 The maximum burning time of the candle varies from candle to candle στε follow the manufacturer's instructions. Always extinguish the candle if the flame gets too close to the base or container. For a safe margin, stop burning the candle when there are 2 inches (5.08 cm) or ½ inches left in the case of a candle in a container or jar.


What causes wax smoking and what can I do to correct it? 

A well-made candle does not smoke when it burns normally. However, if the wick is too long or a stream of air disturbs the shape of the drip, small amounts of burnt carbon molecules (soot) will leave the flame like a visible tassel of smoke. All candles smoke if the flame is disturbed. To avoid this, always cut the wick against the inch before each use and make sure to place the candles away from currents, openings or air currents. If a candle flickers constantly or smokes, it does not burn normally and should be extinguished. Allow the candle to cool, scissor the wick, make sure there are no currents in the area and then light it again.


Are candles harmful to our health? 

Candles made with high quality materials and have all the necessary certificates for safe and proper use, do not pose any risk to human health and safety.


I love scented candles. Why don't candle makers add more fragrance?

There are reports of home-made candles or handicraft products that contain too much perfume or perfume not approved for use in candles. This can cause the candles to burn abnormally or safely.
