Recommendations 

Melting Temperature

Under gentle agitation, melt the wax to a 70°C.  Do not heat to above 90°C for prolonged periods of time.

 Colour

The wax should be melted to around 75°C when using dyes to ensure it fully dissolves into the wax. We recommended that moderate stirring is carried out. When not including dyes, melting the wax to 70°C will be sufficient.

Molds

Molds should be clean and free of contaminants. They should be at least at room temperature, although pre-heating to approx. 45 - 50°C can be beneficial.

Fragrance / Pouring

Add fragrance as close to the pouring temperature as possible for optimum results.

We recommend pouring at 55ºC-60°C and adding your fragrance oil as close to the pouring temperature as possible for optimum results. If you experience difficulties with your pour temperature, try a lower or higher temperature in increments of 5 - 10°C.

Minimize the time that the wax is at a high temperature in order to reduce the burning of the fragrance.

Be careful if you are using plastic clamshells. Check the maximum temperature those molds can support.

Curing Time

Soy wax typically has a cure time of 2 weeks, however, after testing we found the scent throw to be good after only 3 days.

Complementary information

EcoSoya waxes were a favorite of candle makers for nearly 20 years. When NGI made the decision to close its business in 2019, it left a big gap in the soy wax market. In early 2020, UK-based manufacturer Kerax purchased the brand and these popular soy waxes are, very happily, once again available.
