Ecosoya Melt is an all-natural soy wax specifically designed for making perfect wax tarts and melts.
The benefits of this wax are:
Supplied in beautiful,easy-to-work,creamy white pastilles
Try this wax if you had previously used EcoSoya Q230 from the old Quantum range.
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.
Suggested Applications
Wax Tarts and Melts
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.

Taking vegetable wax molds out of silicone molds can be a delicate process to prevent breakage or damage. Here's a step-by-step guide with some tips and tricks to make it easier:
Prepare Your Work Area:

Pour the Wax Carefully:
Cooling and Setting:
Gently Flex the Mold:
Start at the Edges:
Avoid Force:
Use a Soft Tool:
Warm the Mold Slightly:
Patience is Key:

Clean and Store:
Remember that practice makes perfect. It may take a few tries to get the hang of removing wax molds from silicone molds without breaking them. Additionally, the quality of your silicone mold and the type of wax you use can also influence the ease of removal. High-quality molds and proper techniques will typically yield better results.
Silicone molds are known for their non-stick properties, and in many cases, they do not require a release agent. However, whether you need a release agent for silicone molds can depend on several factors:
Type of Silicone Mold: Most silicone molds designed for crafting, baking, or soap-making are naturally non-stick, and you can often use them without a release agent.
The complexity of the Mold: If you're using a silicone mold with intricate details, deep crevices, or undercuts, it may be a good idea to use a release agent to ensure easy removal of the molded item.
Type of Material Being Molded: Some materials may have a tendency to stick to silicone more than others. For example, certain types of wax, resin, or clay may require a release agent, while others may not.
Personal Preference: Some individuals prefer to use a release agent as an added precaution to ensure that their molded items come out easily and without any risk of damage.
Reuse of the Mold: Using a release agent can also prolong the life of your silicone mold by preventing any build-up or residue from repeated use.
In many cases, you can start by trying to use your silicone mold without a release agent. If you find that the material sticks or has difficulty coming out of the mold, then consider using a suitable release agent. Common release agents include silicone mold release sprays, vegetable oil, or even a light dusting of cornstarch for certain applications.
Ultimately, the decision to use a release agent with your silicone mold should be based on your specific project and the materials you're working with. Experimentation may be necessary to determine the best approach for your particular situation.
