Abstract
The invention provides a composition of matter, which is suitable for manufacturing candles by pressing/extruding, which is based on stearic/palmitic acid and also comprises: 0.2-10% (w.w) of a crystal modifier and optionally 0.5-15% (w.w) of another, as to carbon chain length adjacent, natural fatty acid and/or such fatty acid derivative. Preferably the stearic/palmitic acid is a mixture of stearic acid and palmitic acid in the weight range of 20-80:80-20. The crystal modifier is usually of the ester type and is derived from a polyol with 2-4 hydroxyl groups and higher fatty acid and/or dimeric fatty acid.
