This all-natural soy wax produced by global wax giant AAK under the Golden Brands name was specifically developed and formulated for containers and melts.
Golden Wax 494 is made in the USA. This version has an excellent scent throw, exhibits vibrant colors, and releases easily from molds. This wax uses a 100% soy and botanical oil formula that creates a smooth appearance. Due to the high amount of botanical additives, this wax blend is not designed to burn in a jar.
Golden Wax 494 is the world's most popular soy melt wax because this wax outperforms a lot of soy melt blends in the market with excellent mold release, depth of color, and scent loading. GW494 is highly stable and is delivered in flake form, making it ideal for low- to medium-volume makers.
If you look for the Swedish version ( with no botanical anti-frosting additive ) look for Y50 here
Available in pastilles or in small chunks according to the manufacturer's availability
Supplied in pastilles or small blocks ( depending on the manufacturer's availability)
Golden Wax 494 does not need to be blended with paraffin or other non-plant-based waxes. In addition, Golden Wax provides significant bloom/frost reduction. This premium botanical wax is ideal for use in wax melts, tarts, and pillar candles.
Benefits
Color
Most dyes work with Golden Wax 494 including powder, liquid, or our Bekro dyes. If you wish to make your wax darker, add a little black dye to the color you are using. To lighten use white dye.
Fragrances
Golden Wax 494 may be used with fragrance at levels up to 10%, however, we recommend approximately 8% as this will give an excellent scent throw. Add fragrance close to the pour temperate, around 60 degrees, for best results. The wax will hold 10%+ of most fragrances, although 7-8% is usually more than enough.
Max. Fragrance Load: 10%
Melting
The melting temperature of Golden Wax 494 is 49ºC - 52°C and it can be heated to 80 - 85°C. Allow the wax to cool to your desired pour temperature, add the fragrance at approximately 70°C, and mix well - be sure to stir/mix the wax while melting. Higher temperatures may cause the wax to discolor.
Pouring
Pour temperatures may vary according to type & size, fragrance & dye used. Pour temperatures should be reasonably high (between 60-71°C) unless you are pouring into plastic clamshells, so we recommend, only in that case, no higher than 55°C.
Cooling
Cool undisturbed melts at room temperature (about 21-24°C). They should be allowed to sit undisturbed for 48 hours before test burning.
Cure Time
We would suggest a cure time of 10-14 days before burning.

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:
Use a Release Agent:
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:
Inspect for Breaks:
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.
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.
