Does burning incense halfway and then stopping mean it's of poor quality?
Incense sticks, incense coils, and other types of incense sometimes go out halfway through burning...
Some people online have asked: Does this mean the incense is of poor quality?
Recently, with the hot weather, air conditioners, fans, water-cooled fans, and industrial fans are all in use
to lower the indoor temperature.
While providing coolness and comfort, the airflow also blows onto the incense.
The impact of this airflow causing the incense to go out doesn't necessarily mean it's of poor quality.
It could actually be due to the addition of nitrate powder (a combustion aid), which won't extinguish the flame but is harmful to health!
Besides CNS testing standards, the quality of incense can also be discerned by those familiar with agarwood and sandalwood.
When making incense in our shop, the proportion of plant-based binder used varies for each batch of various incense materials.
Therefore, we always make a small batch for testing.
Besides checking the binder ratio (too much or too little will cause it to go out immediately, even if it burns completely), we also test the incense. (It doesn't just burn for a while and then go out.)
There's also the issue of afterburning!
During the afterburning test, we hold one end of the incense stick in the air, leaving the rest suspended. We test it in a windless environment.
The fewer external factors involved, the easier it is to spot problems.
If it can't burn, it means the binder ratio is wrong. The entire batch has to be destroyed and remade
until the ratio is correct and it passes the afterburning test. Only then will we proceed with mass production.
Small batches... While incense may be sun-dried, damage from pressure on the incense rack is rare and
is mostly discarded during the selection process.
After production, various issues may arise due to differences in users, environment, and climate.
Some incense may mold due to humid climates,
warp from sun exposure, or
be affected by wind. Outdoor incense burning, etc., can also cause problems.
These issues are not necessarily due to inferior materials and
require separate explanation...
