1. Exceptional burning performance
Smoke-free and odourless: This stands as one of Fischer-Tropsch wax's most notable attributes. Derived from natural gas or coal via the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process, it boasts a pure composition with negligible impurities such as sulphur or nitrogen. Combustion produces no black smoke or unpleasant chemical odours, allowing the fragrance itself to be perfectly expressed.
Complete combustion and high calorific value: The wax pool melts uniformly, enabling thorough burning with minimal residue, resulting in highly efficient wax utilisation.
2. Outstanding Physical Properties
High Hardness, Significant Shrinkage: Fischer-Tropsch wax possesses a firm texture, making candles resistant to deformation and scratches. Its shrinkage rate is markedly greater than that of paraffin or soy wax, facilitating effortless demoulding. This results in smooth surfaces, sharp edges, and a premium texture in the finished product.
High Melting Point: With a typical melting range of 90–105°C, Fischer-Tropsch wax far exceeds ordinary paraffin (approximately 60°C). This confers superior stability to candles in summer or high-temperature environments, resisting softening and deformation.
3. Exceptional Sensory Experience
Snow-white and refined appearance: Fischer-Tropsch wax possesses a pristine white hue, unlike soy wax which carries a slight yellowish tint. This provides a pure “canvas” for colouring, enabling the creation of exceptionally vivid and accurate shades.
Surface as smooth as porcelain: once solidified, Fischer-Tropsch wax develops a distinctive lustre, with a texture reminiscent of ceramic or marble, lending it a remarkably premium visual appeal.
