{"product_id":"microcrystalline-wax","title":"Microcrystalline Wax","description":"\u003cp\u003eA high-melt microcrystalline wax that hardens paraffin and soy blends, improves adhesion to glass and helps candles keep their shape in the heat. It is an additive rather than a stand-alone candle wax: a small share changes how a blend behaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirming pillar blends so they stand up to summer temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing wet spots and pull-away in container candles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSculpted and carved candles that need a flexible, tacky wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking with it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it at 2–10% of the total wax. Melt it first, since it needs about 80–85 °C to liquefy fully, then add the base wax and bring the blend to the base's usual pouring range. Start low: at 2–5% it makes a pillar noticeably harder and helps a container candle grip the glass; at 10% it adds flexibility and a slight tack, which is what carved and sculpted candles need. It also raises the melting point of a blend, so a candle stored in a car or a sunny window softens later. Its flash point is high, well above any pouring temperature. Keep a note of each ratio you try; the difference between 3% and 6% is easy to feel and hard to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Homogeneous solid\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow to white\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMelting point:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–80 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCongealing point:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65–70 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle penetration at 25 °C:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤ 18 (0.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViscosity at 100 °C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13–18 mm²\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlash point:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥ 250 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold in 1kg, 5kg and 25kg; orders ship across the UAE in 1 to 3 working days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scent DNA","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":67557650759725,"sku":"WAX-09\/1000","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":67557650792493,"sku":"WAX-09\/5000","price":234.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"25kg","offer_id":67557650825261,"sku":"WAX-09\/25000","price":780.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0387\/0434\/9229\/files\/microcrystalline-wax.jpg?v=1790020402","url":"https:\/\/scent-dna.com\/products\/microcrystalline-wax","provider":"Scent DNA Perfume Oils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
