FAQ

• What is the Crayola Crayons manufacturing process and basic ingredients?

  Crayola® Crayons are made using primarily paraffin wax and color pigment. While the basic ingredients remain consistent across all colors, variations may occur in special effects crayons.

  
  

  Our crayons are crafted through a process that involves melting paraffin wax and blending it with color pigments. This mixture is then poured into molding machines where it solidifies in four to seven minutes. For a behind-the-scenes look at the Crayola crayon manufacturing process, watch the video "You've Got Crayola Crayons" on YouTube.

• How large is the Crayola manufacturing facility?

  Crayola has 800,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space in the Lehigh Valley. The crayon manufacturing area is 54,000 square feet in the crayon packing area, and 34,000 square feet in the molding and labeling area. The Forks I facility, which houses the crayon manufacturing area, is 460,000 square feet of space.

• At what temperature do Crayola Crayons melt?

  The basic ingredients contained in Crayola® Crayons are paraffin wax and color pigment. These ingredients are the same for all Crayola Crayon colors, with some modifications in special effects crayons.

  
  

  Crayola Crayons begin to melt at around 105° Fahrenheit and have a melting point between 120° - 147° Fahrenheit. The melting point is the same for all regular Crayola Crayons; however, the density and amount of pigment included in different crayons will result in varying thickness or viscosity of the mixture.

• Do Crayola Crayons float or sink in water?

  All Crayola® Crayons are made with paraffin wax and color pigment. The crayons vary slightly in weight due to the amount of color pigment added to make each color as well as the density of the powder pigment itself. Even though certain color pigments are very light, and others are very dense, that doesn't mean all dark crayons are heavier. Test this in your laboratory by doing an experiment to see which Crayola Crayons float and sink in water.

• Do you have any information on how to melt crayons to make candles?

  Crayola® Crayons are made primarily from paraffin wax and color pigment. We do not recommend making candles using Crayola Crayons. They have not been tested or approved for this type of use.
