Whitening Agent

In candle making, achieving a clean, bright appearance is essential for creating high-quality, visually appealing products. Whitening agents play a crucial role in this process by reducing the yellowish tint that natural waxes often exhibit, thereby enhancing both white and colored candle formulations. The BC Series whitening agents—BC-10 and BC-50—are specifically developed for candle applications, offering a balance of performance, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.

BC-10 is characterized by its excellent solubility in molten wax, making it ideal for transparent or light-colored candles where clarity and brightness are critical. BC-50, on the other hand, features strong dispersion properties, which are especially beneficial when working with opaque or heavily pigmented waxes. Both products offer outstanding color stability, ensuring that the visual quality of your candles is preserved over time.

To achieve optimal results, the recommended dosage varies: BC-10 should be used at a concentration of 0.05% to 0.2%, while BC-50 is typically effective at 0.5% to 2.0%. It's important not to heat these whitening agents on their own, as exposure to high localized temperatures can reduce their effectiveness. Instead, they should be added during the wax melting phase, ideally before incorporating colorants or fragrances. This allows the BC agents to fully dissolve or disperse in the wax, ensuring a uniform whitening effect.

For enhanced performance, BC-10 and BC-50 can also be used in combination, leveraging the solubility of BC-10 and the dispersion capability of BC-50. This synergistic approach is particularly useful when working with complex formulations or when a more pronounced whitening effect is desired. By incorporating the BC Series whitening agents into your candle-making process, you can achieve superior aesthetic results with consistency and ease.
