Kandelillaviasz

Kandelillaviasz is a term originating from Hungarian and it translates directly to "candle wax". It generally refers to the waxy substance that melts and drips from a candle as it burns. This material is primarily composed of paraffin wax, a byproduct of petroleum refining, though other waxes like beeswax, soy wax, or stearic acid can also be used in candle manufacturing. The properties of kandelillaviasz, such as its melting point and viscosity, are important factors in candle design and performance, influencing how evenly a candle burns and the shape of the resulting wax pool. Over time, the accumulation of solidified kandelillaviasz can form interesting patterns or drips, and in some contexts, this aesthetic can be appreciated. The term is straightforward and primarily descriptive of the physical material.
