Is there such a thing as a clean burning candle? Produces only co2? Aren’t there some that actually produce oxygen?

- bell-cot 4y agoOnly CO2 would be a candle made of carbon, not wax (which also has plenty of hydrogen, producing H2O when it burns). And coming up with a cheap way to get 100%-clean combustion from a tiny fire would be a Nobel-prize-ish discovery. Yes, oxygen candles are a thing. Check out the MSDS for one here: https://www.msdsdigital.com/system/files/85984.pdf https://www.msdsdigital.com/system/files/85984.pdf Summary: It is neither particularly safe nor advisable to store oxygen candles around the house. Let alone use them.
