The present disclosure provides a candle that includes a jar having an interior surface, a fuel within the jar, a wick positioned within the fuel, and a material layer at least partially extending between the fuel and the interior surface of the jar, wherein the material layer includes a hydrophobic molecule. Further provided herein is a method for producing a candle, which includes a step of providing a jar having an interior surface, a step of pre-coating the interior surface with a hydrophobic molecule, a step of pouring a fuel composition into the jar, and a step of allowing the fuel composition to solidify.

Candle and method of making thereof

A pressurized dispensing system including a plastic bottle and a method of minimizing the formation of stress cracks in a plastic bottle that is a part of a pressurized dispensing system. In a method of manufacturing the pressurized dispensing system, a plastic bottle is filled with a liquid, a valve is crimped onto the plastic bottle, and the plastic bottle is filled with gas so as to pressurize the plastic bottle. The plastic bottle is supported only in the finish region throughout the liquid filling, valve crimping, and gas filling steps. The filled and pressurized plastic bottle is substantially free of stress cracks.
