Cargill C3 NatureWax Candle Soy Wax Flakes 750g-3kg - Perfect for Home Decor - Ornaments

This premium quality soy wax is specially developed for the production of container candles. It is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. No animal products were used and no animal testing was performed in its manufacture.

Melting and casting

The pouring temperature must be around 50 °C - 65 °C , depending on the geometry of the container. Attention: NatureWax C3 soy wax is specially created for pouring into containers. Casting in silicone molds is not recommended. Avoid heating above 85°C. These temperatures can lead to discoloration of the wax, poor adhesion and irregular surface. Make sure to stir all the time and stir the wax even as it melts. After melting, let the wax cool to ~60°C-65°C, add the perfume and mix well until the wax reaches ~58°C. Pouring temperatures can vary depending on the type and size of the container, the perfume and dye used and the effects the candle maker wants to achieve. Greater adhesion to containers can be achieved by pouring at a temperature close to the hardening point (approximately 45 - 50 °C). The perfume must be added and mixed immediately before pouring, around 60°C. If you encounter difficulties with the pouring temperature, try a lower or higher temperature in steps of 5 - 10 °C. Consider pouring in preheated molds for better adhesion.

Wicks

Waxed wicks tend to work best with NatureWax C3 wax, but clean wicks can also be used successfully. Following our tests, TCR wicks were specially chosen for this wax. As well as the wooden wicks, doubled for a more optimized combustion.

containers

The containers must be clean and without contaminating substances. They should be at least at room temperature, although preheating them to 40°C-50°C can bring some amazing results. Warm ambient temperature (20°C), heated container and prevention of rapid temperature changes during cooling will reduce the probability of polymorphism / freezing.

Dye

You can use liquid candle dyes or solid candle dyes specially created for soy wax. Bekro dyes are perfect for this type of wax.
