As flammable and luminous essentials, candles can be traced back thousands of years, play a diverse role in the development of human society, and possess various attributes such as physics, chemistry, and culture.
The raw materials for modern candles mainly include wax, wicks and some additives.
The wick is made of cotton, twine or other fibers. The thickness and method of weaving will affect the burning rate and stability of the candle.. A quality wick should have good oil absorbency and combustion properties to avoid wick effect.
The candle manufacturing process mainly involves steps such as preparation of ingredients, melting, pouring into molds, cooling, extraction from molds and pruning.
Candles are solid at room temperature and have a certain hardness and shape.. Different types of hardness of candles depend on the quality of the wax.
When a candle is lit, a number of physical and chemical changes occur.
First, the heat of the flame melts the wax to a liquid state. Liquid wax rises due to the capillary action of the wick. Reaching the top of the wick, it evaporates into wax vapors under the influence of high temperature.. Wax vapors react chemically with oxygen in the air, that is, a combustion reaction occurs, as a result of which carbon dioxide and water are formed, and heat and light are released.

Before the popularization of electricity, the main purpose of candles was lighting, which was widely used in homes, temples, palaces and other places..
