The study was conducted at Agus-os, Indang, Cavite. It generally aimed to compare the quality of candles made from varying proportions of polyethylene wax and stearic acid. Specifically, it aimed to identify the difference between polyethylene wax and stearic acid when used in candle making; to compare the difference of candles made from varying proportions of polyethylene wax and stearic acid when used in candle making; and to determine which of the two materials will give the best quality candles.
Treatments were: Factor A: Treatment l- 90% paraffin wax, 5% polyethylene wax, 5% crystalline wax, Treatment 2- 80% paraffin wax, 10% polyethylene wax, 10% crystalline wax, and Treatment 3- 70% paraffin wax, 15% polyethylene wax, 15% crystalline wax. Factor B: Treatment l- 90% paraffin wax, 5% stearic acid, 5% crystalline wax, Treatment 2- 80% paraffin wax, 10% stearic acid, 10% crystalline wax, and Treatment 3- 70% paraffin wax, 15% stearic acid, 15% crystalline wax.
The quality of the candles was evaluated based on burn rate, burn thoroughness, color consistency, movement of the flame, and flame color. The statistical tools used in analyzing the data were Analysis of Variance, Duncan's Multiple Range Test, Mann Whitney Test, and Kruskall Wallis Test. Results showed that candles from polyethylene wax were better than candles from stearic acid in terms of flame color. The brightest light was produced in candles made
