Phraseology

Candle Mfg.
Note:  

Shall not be assigned to an employer engaged in operations described by another  classification unless the operations subject to Code 4710 are conducted as a separate and distinct business. 

Description

Code 4710 applies to employers engaged in manufacturing candles and other wax products such
as wax chalk and sealing wax. Beeswax, paraffin, stearin, wicks and aniline colors are received
from others. The wax is heated in steam-jacketed vessels or gas heated kettles and wicks are
dipped using manual or automatic dipping equipment. When the candles attain the desired size
and shape and have cooled, they are removed from the dipping cycle. The wicks are cut and the
candles are put into self-fitting end molds to shape the base. Color is then laminated into the
candles through a dipping operation. After cooling they are inspected, wrapped and packaged.
Candles may also be manufactured in molds or hand decorated.


This classification also applies to employers engaged in manufacturing crayons. For the
manufacturing of crayons, wax and pigments are mixed inside of heated vessels. The mixture is
then poured or pumped into molds that are shaped in the form of crayons. After the cooling period
is completed, labels are attached to the crayons. The crayons are then inspected, boxed and
packed for shipment.
