Scented candles can emit fragrance when burning, which can relieve people’s nerves and purify the air. If scented candles are often used, they can be used up in half a month.
How long the scented candle can be used is not certain, need to be based on the material, volume, weight of the candle itself, the thickness of the wick and other factors, in addition to environmental factors will affect the use result. So visible, each candle burning time is different.
The material of the scented candle affects the burning time
The most common candle material on market is paraffin, but brand of sweet fume candle with a bit better can choose the plant wax such as soybean wax, beeswax commonly. The purity of paraffin wax material is relatively high, and the burning time of soybean wax is also more complete than that of paraffin wax. The burning time of the two is completely different. And paraffin will produce black smoke when burning because of poor purity, which is harmful to human body.
The wick of a scented candle affects the burning time
The thickness of the candle wick will also affect the burning time of the scented candle, the burning time of the thicker candle wick is slower, and the thin candle wick is fast and easy to break. The more commonly used candlestick specification on the market is 2.5mm diameter, the flame size of the candlestick burning of this specification is moderate, which can ensure the normal burning of candles and is not easy to be extinguished, and the consumption of candles is relatively small. According to the experiment to prove, candlestick diameter 2.5mm of soybean wax candle, every burning an hour about 5 grams of wax consumption.
Environmental factors affect combustion time
Besides the material and specification of the scented candle itself, whether there is wind in the use environment is also a big factor to consider. The rapid movement of air will shake the candle flame and accelerate the melting of the wax. To slow down the burning of scented candles, use storm glasses or temporarily close Windows and doors.
