Descriptions
Stearic Acid
Stearic Acid is mainly added to candle wax to harden the finished candle for a better burn.
It is also known to improve a candle’s burning qualities and create an increase in the depth of colour and opacity of a candle. If you are using metal moulds, adding this acid will help you to release your candles much easier, however, it is not advised for use in rubber moulds.
Adding between 2-10% of this acid to your wax will help to increase your candles hardness, burning qualities, depth of colour and opacity.
