Oil, Fire and Crayons
Title: Oil, Fire and Crayons
Abstract: This study tries to find out the possibility of the used cooking oil as an additive component of candle. This study aims to produce a low-priced but high-quality candle by using used cooking oil as a major component.
The following materials: 500 mL used cooking oil, 1 kg paraffin wax, cotton thread cut into 5 inches long, serves as, wick, crayons in different colors ,a can (like the can of century tuna), beaker, barbecue stick, plastic molder.
We conducted the experiment. The measured paraffin waxes will be cut into small pieces together with the small pieces of crayon that with be placed in the can. Then the can will be heated in low fire until the waxes and crayons melt and oil will be added different percentages of used cooking oil. Before the mixture solidifies, they will be formed into molds, wicks suspended in the middle of the container. They will be air-dried until hardened.
Chapter 1 – * Introduction and Its Background
The earliest known candles were made from whale fat by the Chinese. In India, wax from boiling cinnamon was used for temple candles. candle making remained unknown until the early middle-ages.
But Emission gases were analyzed for more than 300 chemicals known or suspected of toxicity, health risks or respiratory irritation at elevated concentrations. A new, internationally funded study on candle emissions has confirmed that well-made candles of all major wax types exhibit the same clean burning behavior, and pose no discernible risks to human health or indoor air quality.
Today, As candles started to wane as the major light source due to the introduction of the light bulb, they became more of a decorative item. Candles became available in a broad array of sizes, shapes and colors, and consumer interest in scented candles began to grow.
Cooking oil is a major kitchen item in Filipino households. It is also used substancially in fast-food outlets, where it used in different stages of food
