Definition

Paraffin used in sculpture making is a soft and malleable material, similar to wax. This type of paraffin is a material that artists can use to create sculptures. Paraffin sculptures are typically made using molds.

Paraffin is a material that can be easily melted and reshaped. Therefore, artists can heat and melt paraffin to create desired details and textures, and then shape it accordingly. One of the advantages of using paraffin in sculpture making is the ability to later transform these paraffin sculptures into a permanent material (e.g., bronze) through a casting process. Paraffin sculptures made using molds can later be converted into sculptures made of a different material through the casting process while preserving their original form.

In conclusion, paraffin can be used as a temporary material in sculpture making and can contribute to the production of a permanent sculpture as a result.

Areas of Use

For special usage areas and other paraffin needs with different properties, please contact us.

Candle making is not done with industrial paraffin rope.

Paraffin for glass candles is not suitable for use in molds.

Similarly, paraffin for molds is not suitable for use in glass candles.

Every paraffin used in candle making will shrink after pouring.

To minimize shrinkage, it is recommended to pour starting from the bottom without allowing air exposure.

After the paraffin has solidified, additional paraffin can be added to the area where shrinkage occurred.

It is recommended that the stearin ratio be between 10% and 15%.

It is important that the wick used is 100% cotton.

The flammability, flame height, and soot production are directly proportional to the wick.

According to the properties of the paraffin, it is melted at its melting temperature, stearin is added, and if desired, color is added first, followed by fragrance.
