How to Increase the Fire Resistance of Materials?
Flame retardants are used to improve the fire resistance of materials.
Flame retardants are substances added to materials of organic origin to increase their fire-resistant properties. They slow down the combustion and ignition of the material.
The action of flame retardants is based on:

Today the market offers a huge variety of products for mineral soil enrichment. Science continually studies and invents new and new combinations of mineral components, such as potassium, phosphorus, ammonia,...
Food-grade paraffin P-2is used for coating food products, fruit, etc., as well as for technical purposes. It is white in colour. It is packaged either as shavings in 20 kg bags or as whole pieces of 5-20 kg.
Technical paraffin grade T1 comes as pieces ranging from white to yellow in colour, packed in a paper bag weighing 28-32 kg; grade T2 paraffin looks the same, but without the paper bag.
There is also technical paraffin per TU — it looks like white pieces with various shades (grey, pink, yellow, etc). It comes in 5 kg and 20 kg packaging.
NS paraffin — used in match production, these are pieces of about 16 kg, yellow to brown in colour. Unpackaged.
Candle making.
Candles are made from various grades of paraffin, as well as from natural (bees) wax and petroleum waxes.
In some technologies (for example, when producing utility candles), Ceresin is added to paraffins to give the final product hardness and prevent guttering, but it also adds brittleness. The proportion of ceresin to paraffin is approximately 20-30 to 80-70 percent.
Stearin is also added — it gives softness to the final product and adds whiteness. The proportion to paraffin is the same as with the ceresin technology.
Candles can also be made from Wax and Ceresin, without using paraffins. In this case the proportion is approximately 3 parts wax to 1 part ceresin.
To create coloured items, a colouring concentrate is introduced into the molten solution in a proportion of about 1:100.
Making gift candles.
Original handmade candles are an excellent gift for friends and family. Here are a few simple recipes.
For making them you will need candles made from paraffin.
Paraffin must be melted in a “water bath” — a container with pre-grated paraffin is placed in a larger container filled with water. Heat the larger container of water until the paraffin is fully melted.
While melting, you can start preparing the moulds. Various objects can be used as a mould for a future candle — all you need is imagination.
Here are a few options:
➡ you can use a glass vase (note that the neck should not narrow towards the top). Pour a little vegetable oil (for example sunflower oil) into the vase — this will keep the paraffin from sticking to the walls. You can scatter glitter or something similar on the walls, the oil will hold it in place. Place wilted rose petals in the vase, lower the wick, and pour pre-melted paraffin over all of it. Leave until completely dry, then remove the candle.
➡ fill a balloon with cold water and dip it into melted paraffin several times, until a sufficiently thick layer of paraffin forms on the surface. After the paraffin has dried, pour the water out of the balloon and remove the balloon itself. The result is a mould that can be decorated, for example following the rose recipe (using the resulting mould instead of a vase). The mould can also be filled with coloured paraffin, or you can use your imagination.
➡ cut off the top of a tangerine or orange (even a watermelon is possible 🙂 ), then carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon. The wick can be tied to a stick, the stick placed across the orange, and the thread lowered inside. Now you can decorate the inside of the orange and pour in liquid paraffin.
