Overview of Candle

A candle is an ignitable wick embedded in wax or some other flammable substance that has been used for centuries as a source of light. In some cases, candles are used for fragrance as well. Today, candles are popular for the aesthetic and warm atmosphere they create that invites positivity and good vibes. There are many varieties of candles namely tea lights, votive, pillar, taper, and jar candles, each intended for different purposes.

Ingredients

The primary ingredients used in the making of a candle include wax, wicks, dyes, and fragrance oils. The main body of the candle is made of wax, which can be any type of wax, such as soy, beeswax, paraffin, palm, or gel wax. Wicks are the thread that burns and takes the wax to fuel the flame. Dyes are used for coloring the candles and fragrance oils are added for the scent of the candle. Some additional ingredients like stearic acid or vybar can be added to enhance the performance of the candle such as for improving scent throw and to make the wax harder.

Usage Instructions

While candles are a reliable source of light and heat during power outages, they should be used with caution to ensure safety at all times. There are some usage instructions to follow to ensure safety. They are as follows:

•  Before lighting the candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to ensure a clean burn and prevent soot.
•  A long nozzle candle lighter is safer to light the candle, especially for candles in deep containers or jars.
•  Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.
•  Light the candle carefully, keeping your hair and clothes away from the flame.
•  Keep candles away from open windows, doors, and air currents to prevent rapid burning and potential fire hazards.
• Always keep an eye on the burning candle. Extinguish the candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep.
• Ensure candles are out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidents.
• Using a snuffer to extinguish the candle is a safer choice. Blowing out a candle can send hot wax flying and create smoke.
• Always follow the guidelines provided by the candle manufacturer for the best and safest experience.

Emergency Preparedness

When it comes to emergency preparedness involving candles, here are some key points to consider:

Choose the Right Candles:

Opt for long-burning, unscented emergency candles that are designed to last for extended periods.

Safe Storage:

Store candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to prevent them from melting or warping.

Lighting Safely:

Always light candles in a well-ventilated space, keep them away from flammable materials and never leave them unattended.

Extinguish Properly:

Make sure to extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to sleep. Use a snuffer or put the candle out by depriving it of oxygen, rather than blowing it out, to prevent hot wax from splattering.

Emergency Plan:

Have a fire emergency plan in place, including procedures for safely evacuating the premises if necessary.

Longevity and Durability

Several factors affect the longevity and durability of candles, including the type of wax used, the size of the candle, the environment in which it’s burned, and how it’s stored. Here’s a brief overview:

Burn Time:

Votive candles might last 10-15 hours, while larger jar candles can burn for 60-100 hours or more.

Wax Type:

Soy wax burns slower and cooler than paraffin wax, and beeswax has an even slower burn rate.

Storage:

Candles should be stored in a cool, dark place to retain their scent and burning properties for up to a year.

Shelf Life:

While candles don’t expire like food, they can still lose their scent and vibrant appearance over time. Beeswax candles can last for several years, soy wax candles about two years, and paraffin wax candles last for around one year.

Safety Features

 There are some candle safety features designed to prevent accidents and ensure a safe experience. Here are some key safety aspects:

• Candles should have a stable base to prevent tipping over.
• Wicks are designed to self-extinguish as the wax level gets low to prevent the flame from burning too close to the base.
•  Good quality wicks burn with a consistent flame and do not produce excessive smoke or soot.
• Candles often come with safety labels that provide crucial information on proper use and fire safety precautions.
• Candle holders should be made of non-flammable materials like glass or metal to contain the wax and provide additional stability.
• Always keep the burning candles under supervision and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Keep candles away from flammable objects, children, and pets, and extinguish them properly when not in use.
