Set of party candles with colourful flame, 12 pcs

Whether it's on a birthday cake at nursery or pre-school or for a chemistry lesson, children will be absolutely amazed by these candles. The colourful flames seem to be magic as they light up in the same shade as the relevant candle colour.

The candles are made from candle wax and a mixture of salts and minerals. When they burn, the heat is converted into radiant energy, and light with a particular wavelength is emitted. The flame appears in a characteristic colour for the relevant element and lasts for approx. 8 minutes.

This knowledge was something alchemists were already aware of in the Middle Ages. Today flame tests are used to demonstrate different chemical elements. This method is also used in fireworks.
