  • Candle wicking
    Patent number: 3940233
    Abstract: A lead-free candle wick composition comprising a combustible wick and a stiffening agent is disclosed. The stiffening agent comprises a substantially wax-insoluble polymer or copolymer which has a Vicat softening point at least 2.5.degree.C. higher than the melting point of the candle wax and which depolymerizes or pyrolyzes to substantially completely combustible products at a temperature above said melting point and at or below the temperature of the candle flame.
