Applications & Uses

Applicable Processes
Use Instructions
  • Melting
    • The wax may be melted at about 70°C to incorporate colors and fragrances. Higher temperatures are permissible but heating the wax above 90°C for prolonged periods is not recommended.
  • Pouring
    • The ideal pouring temperature will depend on the mold size, the ambient temperature and other ingredients used; some small-scale experimentation is highly recommended before pouring larger quantities. The wax is tolerant to different pour temperatures, and a recommended starting range is 50-60°C.
  • Curing
    • The melt or candle should be allowed to cool and cure for at least 12 hours before use, preferably in a temperature-controlled environment.
