Paraflint H-1 is a high-melt clarifying additive used for paraffin specialty projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan Paraflint H-1 increase fragrance load?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        That is not its main purpose. Use Vybar-style additives for oil binding tests. Use Paraflint H-1 when clarity, glow, veneer structure, or specialty paraffin effects are the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do I need to melt it separately?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Paraflint H-1 has a much higher melt point than many candle waxes. If it is not fully melted before blending, it can leave specks or fail to mix evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Paraflint H-1 beginner-friendly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Not really. It is better for intermediate makers who are testing paraffin formulas, hurricane shells, veneers, or specialty decorative candle effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloombay","offers":[{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":49139993608500,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":49139993641268,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lbs","offer_id":49139993674036,"sku":null,"price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lbs","offer_id":49139993706804,"sku":null,"price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/5416\/5044\/files\/ParaflintH-11.png?v=1780008168","url":"https:\/\/www.bloombayshop.com\/products\/paraflint-h-1-paraffin-wax-additive","provider":"Bloombay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
