We focus on the future with early system optimizationof the candle’s manufacturing process encompassing theelements material, production technology and know-howcoupled with communication. We aim to continuouslyoptimize systems through targeted collaboration withcandle manufacturers, machine manufacturers andmaterial specialists (e. g. wick, colour, fragrance, lacquer)as timely, professional co-operation ensures costeffec-tiveness. Problem avoidance from the outset rather than subsequent problem solution is our motto. CIP, thecontinuous improvement process, is thus a key factorfor us.

In addition to physical key data, we will provide you withadvice regarding processing conditions and process-specific characteristics. Long-term fundamental analyses,e. g. in the subjects listed below, is the basis for this:

Crystallization behaviour and its consequences

Thermo-technical behaviour

Air solubility in types of paraffin wax

Blends with other raw materials used in the candle industry, such as stearic acid, beeswax and fat Additives and their effects

Factors influencing burning behaviour

Influence of fragrances on the structures of paraffin wax

Systematic analyses, tests regarding burning behaviour,formulation developments, as well as comprehensiveapplication technology-based consultations and trainingat our plant or on your premises are further integralcomponents of our service package.

Specific conditions during candle production requireindividual measures. As well as being specialists with aneye for holistic process flows we consider ourselves asservice providers to candle producers. The processingfocus is on complete system solutions over and above theindividual product.
