ADDITIONAL WAX INFO & GUIDELINES FOR USE

 

NatureWax C-3   Product Type Soy Wax Container Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 125°F - 130°F Flash Point: >600°F Description This 100% soybean wax is a true single pour, and is designed to adhere to the side of the jars.  This is the newest soy container blend from Cargill and produces a much smoother top on candles than previous versions.  The new blend also helps to stabilize color for a nice uniform look.  This wax should be used only for the manufacture of container candles. Benefits All natural!! A TRUE single pour wax when used properly. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is typical.  Higher amounts are possibly achievable with the use of certain additives. Exhibits excellent adhesion to glass containers when used properly. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw. Comes in flake form which makes it easy to measure and dispense.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 160°F - 180°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly. Preheat glass containers to 100°F - 125°F to allow for better side adhesion. (Optional) Lower pouring temperature to between 140°F - 160°F, then pour candles slowly. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process. Different wicks may be needed depending on dye/fragrance combination.  The CD & ECO  wick lines have been found to work well.

NatureWax P-1   Product Type Soy Wax Pillar Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 142°F - 148°F Flash Point: >600°F Description This 100% soybean wax is a single pour wax that is designed to release from the walls of small to medium size pillar molds.  This wax may also be used when creating "Wax Dipped Stuffed Bears."  This wax should not be used in the manufacture of container candles.  Benefits All natural!! A TRUE single pour wax when used properly. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is typical. Exhibits good mold release when used properly. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw. Comes in flake form which makes it easy to measure and dispense.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 170°F - 190°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly. Make sure molds are at or above room temperature before pouring molten wax into them.  This helps to ensure that the candles will release properly.  Lower pouring temperature to between 150°F - 170°F. Allow to cool.  You may place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process. Different wicks may be needed depending on dye/fragrance combination.  The CD & ECO  wick lines have been found to work well.

NatureWax V-1   Product Type Soy Wax Votive Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 134°F - 140°F Flash Point: >600°F Description This soybean / vegetable wax blend is a single pour wax that is designed to release from the walls of votive molds.  Although the C-3 container wax (above) is the preferred wax for containers, the V-1 votive wax may also be used in the manufacture of container candles, although it will set up much harder than the C-3 container wax and will likely require you to up-size your wick when using in a container.  This wax should not be used in the manufacture of pillar candles.  Benefits All natural!! A TRUE single pour wax when used properly. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is typical. Exhibits good mold release when used properly. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw. Comes in flake form which makes it easy to measure and dispense.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 160°F - 180°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly. Make sure molds are at or above room temperature before pouring molten wax into them.  This helps to ensure that the candles will release properly.  Lower pouring temperature to between 140°F - 160°F. Allow to cool.  You may place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process. Different wicks may be needed depending on dye/fragrance combination.  The CD & ECO  wick lines have been found to work well.

IGI-4630 (Harmony Blend)   Product Type Container Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 115°F - 125°F (typical 120°F) Flash Point: >375°F Description This is our newest wax from IGI.  It exhibits much of the exceptional hot and cold throw of the 4627 Comfort Blend, only in slab form.  PLUS IT COSTS LESS!!  A smooth, creamy, true single pour wax that is specially designed for the manufacture of container candles.  Benefits A TRUE single pour wax when used properly. Holds above average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6 to 10% is typical. Exhibits good adhesion to glass containers when used properly. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 160°F - 180°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly, then pour. Preheat glass containers to 125°F - 149°F to allow for better side adhesion. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process. Different wicks may be needed depending on dye/fragrance combination.  The HTP wicks have been found to work well.

IGI-4627 (Comfort Blend)   Product Type Container Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 125°F Flash Point: >375°F Description A smooth, creamy, true single pour wax that is specially designed for the manufacture of container candles.  Benefits A TRUE single pour wax when used properly. Holds above average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6 to 10% is typical. Exhibits good adhesion to glass containers when used properly. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 175°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly, then pour. Preheat glass containers to 125°F - 149°F to allow for better side adhesion. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process. Different wicks may be needed depending on dye/fragrance combination.  The HTP wicks have been found to work well. Special Note This wax is one of the best single pour waxes we've seen before.  However, it is so soft and creamy that it can be a little messier to use than some of the other waxes since you have to scoop it out of the box rather than separating slabs of wax.  The overwhelming response of our customers has been that the superior results of this product are worth the extra effort to use it.  We just wanted to let you know so you can make an informed decision!

IGI-4786   Product Type Container Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 124°F Flash Point: 380°F Description Smooth and creamy container blend specially designed for the manufacture of container candles.  This wax is NOT a one-pour wax. Benefits Holds above average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6 to 10% is typical. Exhibits good adhesion to glass containers. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw. Tends to require a bit less liquid dye than a "one-pour" type container wax like the J-50.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 160°F - 170°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly, then pour. Preheat glass containers to allow for better side adhesion. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process.

 

IGI-4794   Product Type Votive Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 128°F Flash Point: 400°F Description Special blend designed for the manufacture of votive candles. Benefits Smooth, glossy finish. Good mold release. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is  typical. Very good burn characteristics. Great scent throw.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 165°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly then pour. Clean molds always produce the best results. You will need to save some wax to use for the 2nd pour.  After the first pour, allow candles to cool almost completely, then come back and top them off with the saved wax. You may accelerate the cooling process by placing the mold(s) into a water bath or the refrigerator.

 

IGI-4625   Product Type Pillar Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 142°F Flash Point: 400°F Description Special blend designed for the manufacture of pillar candles. Benefits Smooth, glossy finish. Good mold release. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is typical. Very good burn characteristics. Good scent throw.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 175°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly, then pour. Clean molds always produce the best results. You will need to save some wax for the 2nd pour.  As the wax from the 1st pour is cooling, you will need to periodically poke relief holes in the candle (about the size of a dime near the wick should be sufficient).  This reduces pressure that is built up inside the candle as the wax contracts.  If you do not perform this step, the finished candle will likely have a void in the middle.   Once the first pour has cooled nearly completely, top the candle off with the 2nd pour.  Because this wax needs to contract to come out of the mold, once the candle has cooled, there will be a small space in between the candle and the mold.  DO NOT pour the 2nd pour any higher than the original pour or wax will seep down into that space which makes the candle not so pretty and very difficult to get out of the mold. When pouring large pillars, the same process may need to be repeated again with a 3rd pour. You may accelerate the cooling process by placing the mold(s) into a water bath or refrigerator.

 

IGI-4761   Product Type Low Shrink Votive Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 159°F Flash Point: 400°F Description Special low-shrink blend designed specifically for the manufacture of votive candles. Benefits Low shrinkage requires only one pour! Great mold release. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is typical. Good burn characteristics.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 180°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance and dye, stir thoroughly then pour. Clean molds always produce the best results. You may accelerate the cooling process by placing the mold(s) into a water bath or refrigerator.   Special Note Although this wax is considered a "one-pour" votive wax, we are not stating that it does not shrink at all.  The top of the votive will have a slightly concaved shape.  Another difference with this wax is that you are usually unable to achieve the smooth glossy finish that you can with other waxes.  Many customers find the end product is still high quality and really appreciate the time they save by pouring only once.  Other chandlers are a bit "pickier" about the look of their candles and choose to spend a little more time using the IGI-4794.  On the other hand, many of our customers like the convenience of being able to make pillars and votives right out of the same batch, so they choose the Astorlite 6228/1.  We stock many types to give our customers the chance to decide what's best for them!

 

IGI-1260   Product Type Hurricane / Embed Blend Properties Melt Point: 163°F Flash Point: 400°F Description High melt point wax designed for the manufacture of wax embeds or hurricane candles. Benefits High melt point helps embeds stand up to high temperatures without bleeding into the gel. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is  typical. Semi translucent.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 180°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance & dye (if desired) and stir thoroughly, then pour. Clean molds always produce the best results. You may accelerate the cooling process by placing the mold(s) into a water bath or refrigerator.

 

IGI-1274   Product Type Mottling Wax for Pillars & Votives Properties Melt Point: 140°F Flash Point: 400°F Description Paraffin wax blend designed for use in the manufacture of "mottled" style pillar and votive candles. Benefits Mottling effect creates a unique, rustic look on the finished candle. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is  typical. Good mold release. Good burn characteristics.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 180°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance & dye (if desired) and stir thoroughly, then pour. Clean molds always produce the best results. You may accelerate the cooling process by placing the mold(s) into a water bath or refrigerator, although the mottling may be improved by slowing the cooling process. Avoid contact with other waxes, additives, etc. as they may contaminate the mottling effect.

IGI-1343   Product Type Cut and Carve Pillar Blend Properties Melt Point: 138°F Flash Point: 400°F Description A fully refined wax suitable for pillar and other molded candles as well as "cut and carve" candles. Benefits Not as brittle as a typical paraffin wax, making it suitable for "cut and carve" applications. Fragrance oil retention of 3% is  typical.  Higher fragrance loads may require the use of additives. Good mold release. Good burn characteristics. Even shrinkage, without cracking or spotting.   General Guidelines Use this product as supplied or as a base wax in combination with additives for pillar and molded candle applications. Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 180°F - 185°F.  Add fragrance & dye (if desired) and stir thoroughly, then pour. Clean molds always produce the best results. You may accelerate the cooling process by placing the mold(s) into a water bath or refrigerator.

IGI-2281   Product Type Straight paraffin for Containers Properties Melt Point: 123°F Flash Point: 400°F Description A replacement for the old IGI 941, this soft wax is designed for use in the manufacture of mottled container candles, or can be used to achieve a smooth look with the addition of additives such as Vybar 260. Benefits Very little shrinkage occurs which means that a re-pour is usually not necessary (when no additives are used and wax is poured at 150°F or below.) Fragrance oil retention of 3% is  typical.  Higher fragrance loads may be achievable with the use of additives although you should be aware that the use of additives will diminish the "mottled" look. Good scent throw. Good burn characteristics.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to approx. 150°F.  Add fragrance & dye (if desired) and stir thoroughly, then pour.  Preheat glass containers for better adhesion. To optimize the "mottled" effect, allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process.  Some customers have found that placing the candles in an insulated cooler or box will help slow the cooling process. For a smooth look, rather than the mottled look, add 1/2 tsp of Vybar 260 per pound of melted wax.  You may need to adjust this amount to suit your taste.  The use of Vybar increases shrinkage so re-pouring may become necessary.

IGI-6006   Product Type Container Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 127°F Flash Point: 400°F Description This soft, low-shrink container wax was originally produced by Dussek Campbell and then BP under the blend number 5766.  It is now produced by IGI under the formula #6006. Benefits Creamy in appearance, this wax needs no additives other than fragrance and color. Holds average amount of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6% is  typical. Good scent throw. Good burn characteristics. Low shrinkage means that a re-pour is usually not required.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 185°F - 200°F.  Add fragrance & dye (if desired) and stir thoroughly, then pour. Pre-heated jars help minimize shrinkage. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process.

Astorlite J-50   Product Type Container Candle Blend Properties Melt Point: 128°F Flash Point: >500°F Description Soft and creamy, this low-shrink blend is designed specifically for container candles. Benefits The low-shrink property of this wax means in most applications you only have to pour once! Holds above average amounts of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 6-10% is typical. Very good burn characteristics. Good scent throw.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 170°F - 180°F.  Add fragrance and dye and stir thoroughly.  Then LOWER the pouring temperature to 150°F - 160°F, then pour. Preheat glass containers to allow for better side adhesion. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process.

Benefits Has excellent adherence to container sides. Holds above average amounts of fragrance oil.  Fragrance oil retention of 8-10% is typical.

Scent throw is excellent both hot and cold. Very good burn characteristics. Wax is opaque which allows brighter colors with less dye.   General Guidelines Heat wax in a double-boiler system to 170°F - 180°F.  Add fragrance and dye and stir thoroughly.  Then LOWER the pouring temperature to 145°F - 155°F, then pour. Preheat glass containers to allow for better side adhesion. Allow to cool as slowly as possible.  Do not place in a water bath or refrigerator to accelerate the cooling process.
