- the difficulty in removing the after burn residue is due, in part, to the adherence of the wax formulation to the vessel walls.
- the adherence may increase at the later stages of a candle burn cycle.
- An increased adherence results in a decrease in the contraction of the wax formulation, limiting the extent by which the wax formulation may pull away from the vessel wall.
- the wax formulations according to some aspects presented herein are configured to form a candle matrix that is easily removable from a vessel.
- the wax formulation comprises a filled vessel containing at least one wax formulation, having a particular scent and/ or color.
- the wax formulation comprises a candle configured to be inserted into the vessel, once the original wax formulation is removed. Non limiting examples of such aspects are shown in Figures 1-4.
- the wax formulations according to some aspects of the present invention are configured to provide a contractility and/or surface tension sufficient to allow the wax formulation to pull away from the inner surface of a vessel.
- wax refers to a substance that is a plastic to brittle solid at ambient temperatures. Suitable waxes for certain aspects presented herein include, but are not limited to, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, beeswax, animal wax, vegetable wax, mineral wax, synthetic wax, and mixtures thereof. In addition to wax semi-solids (such as petrolatum), liquids, synthetic polymers and mixtures of synthetic polymers with one or more organic compounds may be used in a candle material or part of a candle material. Other typically used candle fuel source components such as hydrocarbon oil, stearic acid, may also be included in the candle material.
- the ability of the wax formulation to pull away from the inner surfaces of the surfaces of the vessel may be influenced by factors such as, for example, the recrystallization time of the wax formulation during the phase change from liquid to solid, the specific gravity of the wax formulation, the composition of the wax formulation, the density of the wax formulation, the coefficient of expansion of the wax formulation, the surface tension of the wax formulation, the nature and extent of inter-molecular interactions between the wax formulation and the inner surface of the vessel, and the like.
- the wax formulation contains paraffin wax.
- paraffin wax has a reduced soot accumulation and carbon deposits, and acceptable ability to retain volatile active substances.
- Paraffin wax has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, allowing minimal volume changes throughout the heat and cooling phase of the wax formulation. The coefficient of thermal expansion is defined as the changes in volume of a material per one degree Celsius change in temperature.
- the volume changes throughout the heat and cooling phase of the wax formulation of the wax formulation are altered, sufficient to enable the wax formulation to pull away from an inner surface of the vessel when the wax formulation cools below the melting point of the formulation after the burning stops.

- the kind and amount of the additional ingredients are selected among those that do not alter the structure or the burning properties of the wax formulation.
- the volatile active substance may be any type of volatile active substance. In some aspects it is a perfume, a malodor counteractant, an antibacterial agent, an insect repellent or any combination thereof. In some aspects, the volatile active substance is a perfume.
- perfume is meant as including any perfuming ingredient or a mixture thereof.
- a "perfuming ingredient” is meant here as a compound which is of current use in the perfumery industry, i.e. a compound which is used as active ingredient in perfumed candles in order to impart a hedonic effect into its surrounding.
- such an ingredient or mixture to be considered as being a perfuming one, must be recognized by a person skilled in the art of perfumery as being able to impart or modify in a positive or pleasant way the odor of a candle, and not just as having an odor.

- these perfuming ingredients belong to chemical classes as varied as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, acetates, nitriles, terpene hydrocarbons, nitrogenous or sulphurous heterocyclic compounds and essential oils, and said perfuming ingredients can be of natural or synthetic origin. Many of these ingredients are in any case listed in reference texts such as the book by S.
- malodor counteractant or "malodor counteracting ingredient” is meant compounds which are capable of reducing the perception of malodor, i.e. of an odor that is unpleasant or offensive to the human nose by counteracting and/or masking malodors.
- malodor counteractants have the ability to react with key compounds causing known malodors. The reactions result in reduction of the malodor materials' airborne levels and consequent reduction in the perception of the malodor.
- Non-limiting examples of suitable insect repellants include citronella, dimethyl phthalate and n,n-dimethyl-m-toluamide.
- the volatile active substance is typically present in candle between 10 and 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

- high melting point wax coated wicks are cut into a desired length then crimped into small metal wick stands.
- the wick stands are attached to the bottom of a container.
- a metal wick guide is placed to keep the wicks vertical.
- the wax formulation is poured into the container to the desired level.
- the candle is cooled to room temperature, followed by removal of the metal wick guide.
- an accelerated cooling process can be used.
- the wicks are trimmed to right length to yield a finished candle.
- Other approaches including those common in the industry, may be used.
- One aspect presented herein provides a method comprising: a) admixing a paraffin wax, a stearic acid, a polyethylene, at least one microcrystalline wax, at least one linear alcohol, and a volatile active substance, thereby forming a formulation; and
- the polyethylene is present in the formulation in an amount sufficient to enable the formulation to pull away from an inner surface of the vessel when the candle cools below the melting point of the formulation after the burning stops
- the at least one microcrystalline wax is present in the formulation in an amount sufficient to enable the formulation to pull away from an inner surface of the vessel when the candle cools below the melting point of the formulation after the burning stops.
