Our soy wax container is specifically developed for the production of container candles. This soy container wax has been designed to produce candles with a premium quality finish, excellent scent throw and superb glass adhesion. The soy container wax may be used with fragrance at levels up to 10-12%. Our soy wax is suitable for blending with fragrances and oil soluble dyes. Our soy wax is biodegradable and vegan friendly. No animal products are used and no animal testing has been carried out in its manufacture. Soy wax container does not require additives, other than fragrance and colour required by the Candle maker. Wax should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture. Colour Most dyes work with our Soy wax, powder, liquid, chips, blocks, etc. When using powder dyes, heat the wax to approx. 75°C, add the dye and mix until dissolved. Powder dyes may also be dissolved in fragrance and then added to the melted wax, be sure that the dye has dissolved completely before adding. When using powder dyes dissolved in fragrance, liquid dyes, or colour blocks heat the wax to 75°C. If you wish to make your candle darker or “richer”, add a little black dye to the colour you are using. Fragrance Our Soy wax has been designed for fragrance at levels between 10-12%%. Fragrance which is specifically developed for use with natural waxes is highly recommended. Burn pool size and depth greatly affect fragrance throw so correct wicking is paramount. Some fragrances may react poorly with the wax causing bleeding, objectionable surface finishes or poor flame quality. This has been found to be exaggerated when using fragrances specifically designed for use in Paraffin wax candles. Wicking Natural waxes tend to require larger wick sizes than traditional paraffin waxes. Fragrance, colour and candle configuration have a great impact on the best wick choice. Too large of a wick may cause sooting, accelerated burn times and guttering (wax leaking through the side of the candle). Too small a wick will cause tunneling and produce a smaller flame. Keep wicks trimmed to ¼ inch. If you experience poor flame quality or stability, try a different type of wick. Test burning should be done after the candle has had a chance to sit for 48 hours after pouring. Melting Temporary high temperatures (up to 85°C) have no adverse effect as long as the wax is cooled back down quickly. Higher temperatures may cause the wax to discolour.
