Abstract

The invention preferably relates to colored candle dipping compositions having a surface gloss effect. It is the object of the invention to effect glossy surfaces on candles by means of a surface-gloss-producing raw material, without application of the previous cooling-water immersion. According to the invention, the object is achieved by adding a mixture of 0.5 to 30% by weight of saturated, higher molecular weight fatty acids having 16 to 22 carbon atoms and hard fats of the same chain length to the dipping composition. For a colored surface gloss, preference is given to using fatty and ocelic azo dyes. The temperature should be in the range of 341 to 358 degrees K.

Process for the production of candle dipping compositions

1 »Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to dip materials for candles on which a shiny,

also colored surface should be produced «·

2 »Characteristic of the known technical solutions Candles, which are manufactured by the casting process, have shiny surfaces without any special aftertreatment» In today's trend of development, however, such production processes are no longer economical. profitable · Accordingly, modern technologies, such as those of the drawing or pressing process »Application · The candles produced by these technologies get only after dipping in a liquid optionally also colored coating composition followed by cooling water immersion shiny surfaces» Known are the necessary, even colored Dipping masses based on raw materials such as

- high molecular weight predominantly aliphatic boundary hydrochlorofluorocarbons (chain length C ₁₂ to C ^ ₀₎

synthetic waxes, such as polyethylene fibers with and without functional groups,

Copolymers (for example ethylene-vinyl acetate),

^ Resins (z * B · rosin, modified rosin),

- montan acids,

natural waxes mixed with dyes

From the WP 85136 results as a catch of previous operations, - that in the said conventional composition always the entire candle

wetted with water, which not only makes the! technology more complicated, but also with subsequent use and processing of the dipped candles additional difficulties arise · often the dipped candles float in the water, which easily only one-sided formation of the gloss In addition, or in machine dipping processes damage to the T.auchblick arises · The operation of a water-cooled quench bath also requires a technological expenditure and reduces the economy of the process ·

To circumvent these laughing parts is known (WP 85136) that according to this invention consists of paraffin and montanic acid (0.5 to 15%) existing dip "still rosin (0.1 to 8 %) , aromatic hydrocarbons and / or ISTaphthene · In doing so, the diving -...

also dyes (.z, B · Ceresblau GIT.oder Ceresrot G dissolved in. fatty acids) are added · In this composition, the composition candles are dipped at 10 to 30 ⁰ K above the melting point of this composition roads · It forms a thin and colored glossy Coating on the ker, ze.

Disadvantages of this method are that when incorporating clay montanic acid or rosin, in.an fixed formulations different hues are recognizable · Compared to the original color the coating appears usually much brighter * This results in a relative increase in the cost of the composition by increased additives to dyes ·

3 »Object of the invention :

The aim of the invention is the development of a Keraentauchmasse with surface, nglanzeffekt. In this case, the additionally applied cooling water immersion ,, whereby the generation of Oberflächenglantes according to the prior art was possible, eliminates · On the other hand, the surface gloss-generating raw material should be used for the formulation of Taauchmasse that preserved without increased dye addition, the surface coloration of Originalreaeρturen ·

4 "Presentation of the essence of the invention

The object of the invention is to create a candle-dipping mass, during which dipping the candles under certain dipping conditions.

conditions, a finely crystalline surface film with a gloss effect is formed, whereby the existing cow 's water production is no longer applicable.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by adding to the leech wet mixture of saturated higher molecular weight fatty acids having a chain length distribution Cg to C ₃₂ and hard fats of the same chain length range. In the preferred embodiment, a fatty acid mixture of chain length distribution C g is 30 % + 5 % and C is _Q 60 +5 $ * The chain length distribution of the hard fats to be used corresponds to the commercially available triglyceride vegetable oils for hydrogenation, such as "B * sunflower, Baps, Hüb- or similar oils or hydrogenated animal body fats." The proportion of hard fatty acid and hardened fat mixture in the Immersion mass is 0.5 to 30.0% by weight, but preferably 1.0 to 3.5% by weight.

Bs it has been shown that except the combination according to the invention, the immersion temperature of the total immersion mass 34-1 to 358 ⁰ K should be to achieve the surface gloss effect · "Ausßdem also the Einsatz.des fatty acid ZHartfettgemisches already existing dipping recipes to the effect, that the colored surface gloss effect does not change »

5 · Features of the invention

A feature of the invention is to create a candle dipping mass by combination of saturated, ..HShermolekularer fatty acids having 16 to 22 carbon atoms, preferably with 16 to 18 carbon atoms and hard greases about the same chain length distribution with further use of conventional raw materials, which already on cooling For the achievement of a colored surface gloss in candles, it is preferable to use fat-soluble dyes (for example azo-soluble and oil-soluble azo dyes).

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to some embodiments.
