The transparency of paraffin is reduced by Vybar Dispersion , so colors will show a higher intensity and improves the ability of the wax to retain fragrances. Issues like mottling and air bubbles within the candle are also decreased with addition of Vybar Dispersion . For those with a drawing machine, the drawability of paraffin wax is improved with Vybar Dispersion.
