It is widely used in the production of various candle products, including column candles, tea candles, craft candles, religious candles, and festive candles, serving as a crucial material foundation bridging traditional craftsmanship and modern consumer demands. The average price of this product is approximately US$1100 per ton, with global sales of approximately 950,000 tons.
