Product description

Gel wax for candle making is a transparent candle-making material produced on the basis of mineral oil (paraffin) and a polymer resin, which gives it a typical gel-like consistency, high clarity and flexibility. It is created by controlled thickening of mineral oil (paraffin) with special polymers, thanks to which it maintains a stable structure and a long burn time. Owing to its exceptional transparency, it is ideal for producing decorative candles with embedded decorative elements that remain visually clear and distinct.
