A transparent elastic and free-standing compound for the manufacture of candles and the free-standing candle obtained with said compound

摘要

Refers to a compound comprising the mixture of a hydrocarbon oil in a relation of about 88 to 75 in weight percent and at least one copolymer selected from the group of triblock and diblock polymers in a proportion from about 12 to 25 in weight percent; wherein said hidrocarbon oil having a viscosity of at least 180 SUS at 37 DEG C (100 DEG F) or, if viscosity in CST, being greater than 32 at 40 DEG C (104 DEG F), and the flash point (VCA) greater than 220 DEG C (425 DEG F). Also is claimed a free standing candle built with this compound, being said candle capable of maintaining the free standing condition even when is lit by means of a flame produced as consequence of the combustion of a wick that crosses the body of the candle proyecting toward outside one of its ends. <IMAGE>
