What type of wax can be used with a wax heater?

The types of wax that can be used with wax heaters include paraffin, beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, and coconut wax. 

These wax materials have different characteristics and applicable scenarios:

Paraffin: It has a low melting point and is suitable for making craft candles with rich shapes. It is not easy to solidify. No. 58 fully refined paraffin is the most commonly used specification, with a melting point of 58℃ and a mold temperature of 85℃-100℃.

Beeswax: It is divided into white beeswax and yellow beeswax, with a melting point of 62-63℃. The ductility of block yellow beeswax is better than that of white beeswax.

Soybean wax: It is divided into soybean container wax and soybean columnar wax. Soybean container wax has a low melting point and low hardness, which is suitable for making container candles; soybean columnar wax has a high melting point and high hardness, which is suitable for making modeling candles.

Palm wax: It is extracted from palm tree fruits, with a melting point of 58-62℃. It can form a smooth surface when it is molded below 90℃, and a crystalline texture when it is molded above 90℃.

Coconut wax: natural wax material with a melting point of 40°C and good oxidation stability, suitable for making candles with a natural and smooth texture.

When heating these wax materials in the heater, pay attention to the following points:

Temperature control: Different wax materials have different melting points and mold entry temperatures. The temperature setting of the heater needs to be adjusted according to the specific wax material to ensure that the wax material can be melted evenly and will not overheat.

Heating time: The heating time should be adjusted according to the melting point and required temperature of the wax material to avoid overheating and causing the wax material to deteriorate or burn.

Safety measures: When using the heater, pay attention to fire prevention and scalding prevention to ensure the safe use of the equipment.
