When making candles, ceresin is added to paraffin to increase the melting point, since it has a higher melting point than paraffin. Adding ceresin to the candle mass reduces the flow of the candle, it holds its shape better, candles with such an additive are harder, which is important for candles of small diameter such as, for example, church candles.
Such candles have an increased burning time and the combustion process itself is better than candles without the addition of ceresin. When burning, the wick burns evenly. It is also very profitable to buy ceresin for candle production when you make candles in hot weather, at high temperatures such candles are stored much better and hold their shape well, do not float.
Also, the color of the candle becomes more attractive and lasts much longer than candles without adding this material. Candles are obtained with a smooth, even surface.
