Overview
OPTALENE™  is a wax additive or a recipe designed for making high quality candles such as pillars, squares, votives, 2 or 3-wick candles and odd shaped candles.  It is proved to be the most effective wax additive in the market.  OPTALENE™  possesses the merits of many other additives and in addition, it helps the candle to maintain in a perfect shape during the  burning.  This enables a complete burning of wax and ensures the longest burning hours of the candle ----- thus securing value of money of the product.
OPTALENE™   is a proprietary formula mixture of different wax additives including polyethylene and copolymers.  The principle is based on a co-polymerization process which adds flexibility to the molecule by modifying the crystalline structure of the finished product.  Typically, branching makes the polymer softer and more flexible, increasing the hydrocarbon solubility, raising the melting point, and increasing the melt viscosity.  The paraffin of the burning candles melts uniformly and thus facilitates the candles to burn consistently without remaining walls at the circumference of the candles.
