{"product_id":"paraffin-wax","title":"Fully Refined Paraffin Wax","description":"\u003cp\u003eFully refined paraffin wax with a low oil content, for pillars, votives, tarts and container candles that need a bright colour and a strong scent throw. It holds dye vividly, releases from moulds cleanly and gives the glossy, opaque finish that natural waxes cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePillar and moulded candles with a smooth, hard finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrong hot throw in tarts and wax melts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlending with soy or coconut wax to firm up a container candle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking with it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelt in a double boiler to about 75–80 °C, add dye, then fragrance oil at 6–10% around 70 °C and stir for two minutes. Pour at roughly 65–70 °C for moulds and slightly cooler for containers, warming the vessel first to avoid wet spots. Paraffin shrinks as it sets, which is what makes it release from a mould and also what leaves a sinkhole around the wick: keep a little wax back for a second pour once the surface has set. It burns more freely than soy, so it usually takes a smaller wick than soy of the same diameter. A 20–30% share added to soy gives a firmer candle with a stronger throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e White (Saybolt ≥ +24)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMelting point:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58–60 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil content:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤ 0.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle penetration at 25 °C:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–65 (0.1 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaponification value:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤ 1.0 mg KOH\/g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Characteristic, faint\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":67557648826413,"sku":"WAX-07\/1000","price":51.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":67557648859181,"sku":"WAX-07\/5000","price":230.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"25kg","offer_id":67557648891949,"sku":"WAX-07\/25000","price":765.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0387\/0434\/9229\/files\/paraffin-wax.jpg?v=1790020388","url":"https:\/\/scent-dna.com\/products\/paraffin-wax","provider":"Scent DNA Perfume Oils","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
