Abstract

A wax composition comprising various waxes and an organically modified polysiloxane (OMP). These materials are mixed and melted into a homogenous liquid state creating a molten blend. It is preferred that the slip agent be added to the blend at least 0.25 percent by weight, and more preferably at 0.50 percent by weight. By mixing OMP with known candle and wax potpourri waxes, the wax becomes much easier to remove from the wax container.

Claims (8)

1. A wax potpourri composition comprising:

one or more wax materials;

polysiloxane mixed with said wax materials to facilitate removal of said wax material from a container when said wax material is in a solid state, said polysiloxane comprising at least 0.25% by weight of the composition,

wherein said wax materials and polysiloxane are compressed to form a wax potpourri.

2. The wax potpourri composition of claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane comprises between 0.25% and 1.00% by weight of the composition.

3. The wax potpourri composition of claim 1 wherein said polysiloxane comprises at least 0.50% by weight of the composition.

4. The wax potpourri composition of claim 1 wherein said one or more wax materials comprise between 41.25% to 98.95% by weight of fully refined paraffin.

5. The wax potpourri composition of claim 1 wherein said one or more wax materials comprise not more than 41.25% of semi-refined paraffin.
