RAPESEED WAX POLYCERIN®9562

Description

POLYCERIN 9562, a high-quality variation of rapeseed wax, is crafted specifically for molds. It boasts impressive release characteristics and a low melting point, making it ideal for various applications.

Polycerin® 9562 is a carefully adjusted blend of hardened and partially hardened rapeseed oil and is specially designed for use in the production of pillar candles, that are removed from silicone molds.

 Polycerin® 9562 can be colored by adding pigments and dyes, and this wax creates a porcelain-like surface. Polycerin® 9562 provides an excellent retention of fragrance oil. The composition of the product is protected as a registered trademark.

Why Choose Rapeseed Waxes?

Rapeseed Waxes are an ideal eco-wax available from locally grown non-GM rapeseed crops in the UK, France, and Germany and manufactured within Europe.  Simpler, shorter, and closer logistics mean a smaller carbon footprint. This vegetal oil has the lowest footprint and the higher rentability crop from European cultures.  Rapeseed is effectively an eco-friendly culture.

The European Union was the leading producer of rapeseed worldwide with a production volume of 19.5 million metric tons in that year in 2022/2023 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/263930/worldwide-production-of-rapeseed-by-country/) 

This Rapeseed is used to produce oil, which can be used both in the food industry and candle industry and in the manufacture of green biodiesel.

1. Biodiesel Production: Rapeseed oil is used in biodiesel production. Biodiesel is considered a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel fuel, as it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Crop Rotation and Soil Benefits: Rapeseed is often used in crop rotation, which can enhance soil health and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. The plant has deep roots that help break up compacted soil, and its residues contribute to the growth of organic matter and the natural management of weeds, creating a natural response to this problem.

3. Crop requiring little water: On the other hand, it also allows for livestock use, through straw, which is used to feed cattle. It is a very interesting crop in soils that are not very fertile and with little water.

Let's resume it's Eco credentials 

• Low carbon footprint  – rapeseed is grown in Europe so it does not travel over oceans to get here 
• It does not create harmful toxins 
• It is non-hazardous for us, our pets, or wildlife
• It helps our bees, they love the nectar that rapeseed flowers product
• It feeds our animals
• In the form of bio-fuel, it powers our vehicles
• It is sustainable
• It protects our soil
• It is not genetically modified

 Instructions and recommendations

This is a very easy and user-friendly wax allowing you to achieve great results in beautiful truly ethical wax molds. It is therefore an aesthetic solution, as well as being ethical. 

Don't work with rapeseed wax as you do with soy wax. Rapeseed wax is a bit sensitive and likes to be treated with a lot of attention.

• recommended melt temperature +85 - 90°C,
• recommended fragrance oil content is up to 10%,
• recommended fragrance oil addition temperature ~ +75°C,
• recommended pouring temperature +65 - 70°C,
• solidification temperature ~ +57°C.

Always adjust your pouring temperature to room temperature following the principle below . If the room temperature is too low pour hotter
