follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Always extinguish a candle if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains (½ inch if a container candle or jar candle). Are scented candles safe?

The only difference with a scented candle is that a small amount of fragrance is released as well

When a candle burns, the wax is drawn into the wick, where it is consumed by the candle flame to produce water vapor and carbon dioxide. Reputable candle manufacturers use only fragrances that are approved for burning in candles. They also carefully monitor the addition of fragrance to ensure that the candle will burn cleanly and properly. Are candles made with “natural” ingredients or essential oils safer? In fact, scores of natural ingredients are known to be extremely toxic to humans in very small amounts. NCA members are committed to manufacturing candles that use ingredients known to be safe and approved for use in candles, whether natural or synthesized. Are vegetable-based waxes water soluble?

By definition, a wax is not soluble in water

wax is generally an oily material and can not be solved in water . oil stands on top of the water and can be picked up if the water is cold . because of this specification , one way to clean candle or other waxy materials from carpet or clothes is rubbing ice on it s surface and then pick wax from the surfaced Is paraffin wax toxic?

Paraffin wax like all candle waxes is non-toxic

paraffin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in food, cosmetics, and medical applications. Food-grade paraffin is commonly used for manufacturing candles. for making food and cosmetic grade paraffin wax , it should be DE-oiled to 0.5% or less more oil content means industrial grade paraffin wax how much rubber process oil is needed to produce tire ? around seven gallon is required . what is the producing method of syntactic rubber process ? General purpose synthetic rubber has its origin in two gases: butadiene, a by-product of petroleum refining, and styrene, captured either in the coking process or as a petroleum refining by-product. When the two are mixed in the presence of soapsuds in a reactor, liquid latex results. The dry rubber in this milky liquid is then coagulated into crumbs, washed, dried, and baled ready for shipment. why we need syntactic rubber process oil ? after world war 2 when america used almost all natural rubber they had to find a solotion to find another alternative which conclud to syntatic rubber which has a important key role in daily life . what kind of rubber is available ?

Widespread network Diligent and experience team of professionals With all these factors, we remain ahead of other competitors in the highly competitive market What is Gilsonite ? Gilsonite is black and natural rock asphalt that can be pulverized and melted to use in the ink, drilling fluid, asphalt and foundry industry. Gilsonite chemical makeup is a complex mix of elements that include sulfur, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, as well as small quantities of other elements. There are several different types and ranks of Gilsonite. Natural asphalt is classified by degrees of hardness, moisture and softening point. Gilsonite is hard petroleum, almost hydrocarbon, and containing the highest fuel content. Bituminous rock is a type of Gilsonite , the most common type in Iran, used to mix with oil base products to modify bitumen and to make high quality bitumen for high way and Airports also special Iran Gilsonite using for fluid lose control and stabilizing hole shale. To determine the origins of Gilsonite, one has to look back a long way. Some 300 million years ago, much of Iranian was a swamp covered with giant ferns, reeds and other animals. When the existence died, they fell under water, where the oxygen was not sufficient for them to decay completely. A result was the formation of peat. As the sea deposited layers of other materials over the peat through the centuries, the peat was tightly compacted and dried. It then hardened, in the final step of a natural process, to become Gilsonite. Because Gilsonite is composed of once living material, it is known as a “Organic asphalt.” In the heating of Gilsonite, its organic asphalt – the natural asphalt content stored in the ancient existence material – is released. It is oil and natural gas also asphaltite elements.
