low temperature candle flame temperature

The flame temperature of low-temperature candles is usually between 50-80 degrees Celsius. The specific temperature is affected by the wax composition, candle wick material and environmental ventilation conditions.

Low-temperature candles usually use low-melting natural materials such as soy wax or beeswax, and the flame temperature when burning is significantly lower than ordinary paraffin candles. These candles are designed to reduce the risk of burns and are suitable for aromatherapy or special occasions. The flame temperature is related to the purity of the wax. Adding plant essential oils may slightly increase the temperature but generally does not exceed the safety threshold. The thickness and weaving of the candle wick will also affect burning efficiency. Pure cotton candle wicks will be cooler than candles with metal wicks. When using, the environment must be kept well ventilated to avoid insufficient oxygen causing incomplete combustion to generate additional heat. A heat-insulating mat should be used on the table, and flammable objects should not be placed within 15 cm around the candle. It is recommended that the burning time be controlled within 2-3 hours. Burning for too long will cause the temperature of the candle pool to increase cumulatively.

Although low-temperature candles are relatively safe, you still need to avoid direct contact of the flame with your skin or clothing. Special groups such as children, pregnant women or people with respiratory sensitivities should use it under the guidance of professionals. When extinguishing candles, it is recommended to use a special candle extinguisher instead of blowing them out to reduce the risk of wax splashing. Regularly trim the candle wick to about 0.5 cm to maintain stable low-temperature burning. If you find that the flame is unusually high or black smoke is produced, you should extinguish it immediately and check whether the wax is mixed with impurities.
