What is POFAC 1855 stearic acid used for?
POFAC 1855 stearic acid, also called stearin 1855, is used to give more consistency to preparations and to harden mixtures. Used as a candle stearin, it helps to strengthen the hold of the wax and produce a firmer result.
This raw material is aimed at candle manufacturers and formulators who wish to adjust the texture of their products. It can also be studied for the coating of paper and cardboard, coated textiles or certain maintenance preparations, according to the needs specific to each application.
Its practical interest is to allow targeted adjustments in a recipe.

Why choose POFAC 1855 stearic acid?
GRADE DATA
Criteria for selecting a consistent material
POFAC 1855 provides precise grade identity and several control values useful for comparing batches and framing tests.

Confirm the result on the complete before production formulation.
For what uses should stearin 1855 be used?
MOLDED CANDLES
Pillar candles and tapers
Evaluate the effect of POFAC 1855 on the hardness, surface appearance and evenness of the candle in the full formula.
The choice of wax, wick, fragrance and the process remains to be validated on the marketed format.
COATING
Coated paper and board
Measure the ease of application, adhesion, flexibility and the finish on the support actually used.
Compare each variant to the control after the same cycle of implementation and conditioning.
COATED TEXTILES
Pre-waxed or protected textiles
Check the distribution, surface appearance and the desired property after treatment of the paper or cardboard.
Media, weight, process and drying should remain constant during comparison.
CARE PRODUCTS
Polishes and polishing products
Test the adhesion, flexibility and feel on the coated textile after the complete cycle.
Also check how well the result holds under the intended conditions of use.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Massage candles and skin products
This product is not qualified by default for a massage candle or a product applied to the skin.
For skin use, choose a dedicated grade and evaluate the finished formula.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Food applications without suitable grade
This product should not be used in a food application without suitable grade and compliance.
Check the regulatory requirements of the finished product before use.

How to use POFAC 1855 stearic acid?
1
Define the desired function
Describe the expected effect in the finished product: hardness, consistency, glide, hold or other property measurable.
Do not start testing until the function is clearly formulated.
2
Set an acceptance criterion
Choose a measurement or observation that can be compared between the control and the variants.
Record the method and the tolerance before weighing the material.
3
Prepare the control and the variants
Keep one control formula and prepare several variations that differ only in the rate of POFAC 1855.
Keep the total mass and other components constant.
4
Weigh and identify each test
Use a suitable scale, then label each variation with the batch and the actual rate.
Avoid any confusion between the cups and the tests.
5
Incorporate according to a constant protocol
Keep the same order of addition, the same temperature, the same time and the same intensity of mixing.
Adapt settings to actual die and equipment.
6
Check homogeneity
Check the dispersion, absence of clumps and regularity of the preparation before final measurements.
Discard any non-homogeneous variant.
7
Measure performance
Compare each variant to the control with the acceptance criterion defined at the start.
Also note the side effects on appearance and stability.
8
Repeat before production
Reproduce the best variant under the same conditions before fixing the rate and the process.
The transition to series occurs only after confirmation of the result.

How to choose the stearin 1855?
Choose according to use and expected result
Relate the reference to a measurable function in the real application. For candles, coating, paper or cardboard, coated textiles and cleaning products, define the expected result before comparing the tests.
Choose according to the formulation and associated components
Check compatibility with the matrix and all the components provided. Compare the variants with constant composition in order to isolate the effect of POFAC 1855.
Choose according to the process and controls
Make sure the equipment can control weighing, order of addition, temperature, mixing and dispersion. The controls must be carried out in the same way on each test.

Frequently asked questions about stearin 1855
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions before ordering and qualifying 1855 stearin. They cover uses, dosage, implementation, controls, packaging and storage.
It can be evaluated to adjust the hardness, consistency, glide or behavior of a formulation. The uses referenced concern candles, coating, paper or cardboard, coated textiles and certain cleaning products; the final function must be measured in the real formula.
There is no universal dosage deducible solely from the characteristics of the grade. Build a test range with a control, then only select a rate that meets the acceptance criterion and remains reproducible.
No. The melting range of 53 to 63°C characterizes the material, but the incorporation temperature depends on the matrix, the equipment, the order of addition and the validated protocol.
Prepare weighing in a clean and suitable area, handle without falling from height, close the bag immediately and clean without resuspending particles. Protections are defined according to the risk assessment of the position.
No. Compatibility varies with matrix, other components and desired function. A test on the complete formula is essential before any production.
Prepare a control and several variants which differ only in the rate studied. Keep the same mass, the same order of addition, the same temperature, the same equipment and the same mixing time.
Compare the exact designation, appearance, specifications, identifiers and results obtained in an identical protocol. A common last name does not demonstrate interchangeability.
Check the homogeneity, desired function, stability and any critical properties of the finished product. Repeat the best variant before fixing the rate and the process.
This product is offered in a 25 kg bag. Before ordering, compare this volume to your consumption per batch, your production frequency and your storage capacity.
Keep it in its original packaging, properly closed, in a clean and dry place, away from humidity, direct heat, temperature variations, strong odors and cross-contamination.
