Tefacid® Stearic Acid


Tefacid® Stearic Acid is a professional-grade stearic acid developed by AAK, one of the world’s leading suppliers of specialty lipids for the candle industry. Considered an industry benchmark, Tefacid® is valued for its exceptional consistency, purity, and predictable behavior in production. Its carefully controlled fatty acid composition ensures stable results across batches, making it a trusted choice for manufacturers who demand reliability, repeatability, and high visual standards in finished candles.

In candle making, Tefacid® stearic acid is used to improve both the aesthetics and performance of wax formulations. It increases hardness and opacity, enhances surface finish, and supports clean, effortless mold release — key factors for producing sharp, well-defined pillar and molded candles. By raising the melting point and reinforcing candle structure, Tefacid® helps achieve longer-lasting, more durable products with a professional appearance. It integrates easily into paraffin and blended wax systems, giving candle makers precise control over texture, stability, and final presentation.
