I. INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Today‚ candles are made not only for lighting purposes but for many other uses such as home décor‚ novelty collections‚ as fixtures for big occasions (weddings‚ baptismals‚ etc.)‚ and as scented varieties for aromatherapy. Candles are made from different types of waxes and oils. Cooking oil is a major kitchen item in Filipino households. It is also used substantially in fast-food outlets‚ where it is used in different stages of food preparations

2009 REVISED STANDARDS FOR FIRE SAFETY FOR CANDLES & CANDLE ACCESSORIES Recently‚ ASTM has announced the release of newly revised standards‚ ASTM F2417‚ Standard Specification for Fire Safety for Candles‚ and ASTM F2601‚ Standard Specification for Fire Safety for Candle Accessories. Their previous versions have been replaced by the 2009 editions. BACKGROUND ASTM F2417 was developed to create the minimum safety requirements for candles. Candles are defined as flame-producing devices which present

Attention Material: What comes to mind when you see candles? We associate candles with celebrations (like Christmas or birthdays) or special occasions. Candles date back to the Ancient Egyptians who are credited with making the first candles. They used torches made by soaking the spongy core of reeds in melted tallow (National Candle Association: History of Candlemaking‚ p. 1). B. Tie to the audience: I’m sure that all of us at some point have used candles for celebrations‚ romantic experiences‚ or for

evaluate the environmental impact of the production of candlesticks. All the different materials and processes required to manufacture candles need to be taken into consideration to determine the impacts on the environment. The most common material used to manufacture candles is paraffin wax. Each candle comes in some type of individual packaging most of the time. Candle wicks are made using various natural fibers‚ such as reeds‚ rushes‚ or cotton. An important refinement in wick technology introduced

Hypothesis It is feasible to make candles out of used cooking. Candles out of used cooking oil can be comparable to candles out of paraffin wax (commercial candle) in terms of: a. Lifespan b. Type of flame Scope and Limitations Upon conducting the experimentation process‚ the researchers had found out some limitations within the projects and these are the following: 1. The researchers did not include the measurement of the amount of light given off by each candle because the instrument used to
