This invention pertains to candle wax and a method for making candle wax. The candle wax comprises a candle wax base mixture and a polymer wherein the polymer comprises units of the formula (I) wherein X is an alkyl, alkenyl, alkyl maleic anhydride or alkylene-imine; Y is selected from the group consisting of—O—,—S—,—NH—,—NCH2—,—NCH2CH2—,—COO—of which either the carbon or the oxygen group is bound to X,—C(═O)NH, trialkoxysilane, preferably trimethoxysilane or triethoxysilane, benzyl, amide group; Z is H or a C1-C40 alkyl group or a C1-C40 alkenyl group; n is a positive integer, preferably is n>3; if Y is—COO—, then the polymer is a copolymer comprising at least two different units, and if Z is H or a methyl or ethyl, than the polymer is a copolymer comprising at least one unit comprising a C3-C40 alkyl group or C3-C40 alkenyl group. |
