Where does candle wax come from?
As I was watching a movie "The Village" which was a group of people leaving modern society and creating their own world solely, based on life in the 1800's that candles (wax) are derived from a natural source. Although, I can guess animal fat or tree sap as that source I DON"T HAVE A CLUE.
Please refrain from answers like Target, Walmart or the Craft Store....that I already know...lol
Thank you for answers so far but, DUH that I forgot about BEESWAX when I knew that from 3rd Grade !!!!
(my next question will assuredly be the effects marijuana has on memory...lol)
I am still interested in other sources
Where does wax for candles come from?
While messing around with candles last weekend was wondering from what do they make candles? The only source I knew was the beeswax, which i was very familiar with.Me and My dad used to climb trees in my native place and extract honey from hives.Sometimes he used to get the squeezed hive too.Heat it remove dirt and store.Any dent in any wooden furniture he used to fill it with this wax.There cant be just one source..I thought..Googled and got the info...There are two main waxes used in candlemaking, Paraffin Wax and Beeswax.
PARAFFIN WAX:Paraffin wax, which is classified as a natural wax, is the most common wax used in candlemaking, and can be said to ultimately come from plant life.
In order to protect themselves from adverse weather conditions plants produce a layer of wax on their leaves and stems. Material from dead plants 100-700 million years ago accumulated in large quantities and eventually became buried beneath the surface of the earth. After a long period of time, forces of heat and pressure turned the slowly decaying plant material into crude oil, otherwise known as petroleum. Because of the nature of waxes, being inert and water repellent, they were unaffected by the decomposition of the plant material and remained intact, suspended within the crude oil.Petroleum companies "harvest" the crude oil and process it. They refine the oil, separating the different properties into Gasoline, Kerosene, Lubrication oil, and many other products. In many cases, the wax in the petroleum is considered undesirable and is refined out. The refinery will process the wax into a clean, clear liquid, or as a solid milky white block, and make it available to companies who may have a use for it.The refined wax is called paraffin, which comes from the Latin "parum = few or without" and "affinis = connection or attraction (affinity)". Basically there are few substances that will chemically react with or bind to this type of wax.
BEESWAX :A less common but more highly renowned wax for candlemaking is beeswax. Classified as a natural wax, it is produced by the honeybee for use in the manufacture of honeycombs.Beeswax is actually a refinement of honey. A female worker bee eats honey, and her body converts the sugar in the honey into wax. The wax is expelled from the bee's body in the form of scales beneath her abdomen. The bee will remove a wax scale and chew it up, mixing it with saliva, to soften it and make it pliable enough to work with, then attach it to the comb which is being constructed. Usually another bee will take the piece of wax which has just been attached to the comb, chew it some more, adding more saliva to it, and deposit it on another section of the comb. The combs are built up, honey is deposited inside, and then the combs are capped with more wax. Since several worker bees construct the comb at the same time, and the hive is constantly active with other bees flying around and walking on the combs, depositing foreign matter onto the combs, the composition of the wax becomes very complex.As is the case with paraffin, collecting beeswax is also the byproduct of a process. The beekeepers main interest is in the collection of honey. The capping wax must be removed in order to extract the honey; they save the capping wax until they've collected enough to make it available to market.Because beeswax is harvested in relatively small quantities it does not boast the same availability as paraffin and is therefore more expensive. It is used extensively in cosmetics and candlemaking. Candles made from 100% beeswax are generally held in high regard, when burning they glow beautifully and impart a very pleasant honey like aroma.
