Paraffin Wax
Paraffin is one of the most popular wax types, known for providing a slow, steady, and smokeless burn while producing vibrant colors. It burns efficiently with an oil content of 0.5%, a penetration of 18 mm at 77°F, and a color rating of +30 Saybolt.
Characteristics:
- Consistency: Hard
- Appearance: White and Translucent
- Best Uses: Container Candles and Molds
- Long and clean burn
- Creates vibrant colors
- Versatile wax
- Requires no additional additives (other than fragrance and dyes)
Best Uses:
- Melt wax slowly using a double boiler
- Pour wax at 170°F – 189°F after removing from heat
- Add up to 6% fragrance at 180°F – 190°F
- For wick recommendations, refer to our wick guide
- These are suggested ranges based on our in-house testing; always test first for best results.
- If you add more than 5% fragrance, the wax will create a mottled effect.
-
To increase fragrance capacity and prevent mottling add a polymer additive, micro wax, or bees wax.
-
For optimal results, this wax can be blended with soy wax in a 50/50 ratio.
Safety Guidelines:
- Do not leave hot wax unattended.
- Never add water to wax.
- Have a Class B extinguisher (foam, CO₂, or dry chemical) within reach when handling hot wax.
