Kerax KeraSoy Container 4130, Container Soy Candle Wax

Soy Wax for Containers – Kerax KeraSoy Container 4130

Developed specifically for container candles (jars, bottles, tins), this 100% natural soy wax offers excellent fragrance throw, a smooth surface, good glass adhesion and an even finish, generally in a single pour. Thanks to its low melting point and odourless nature, it is extremely versatile and ideal for both scented candles and massage candle recipes.

• Choosing a Wick: Vegetable waxes often require slightly thicker wicks than paraffin. We recommend TCR or ECO wicks, matched to the container diameter, fragrance and colour. An unsuitable wick can cause tunnelling or smoke; adjust the type if burning is uneven.
• Adding Colour: For granulated dyes, heat the wax to approx. 75°C and stir until dissolved (alternatively, the dye can be dissolved in the fragrance). For liquid dyes, heat to approx. 70°C. A small amount of black dye can be added for more intense shades.
• Adding Fragrance: Being odourless, the wax does not alter the fragrance. Add high-quality fragrance (recommended dosage 7-10%, accepts up to 10-12%) after incorporating the dye. Avoid entry-level fragrances that can compromise the burn.
• Pouring and Cooling: Melt the wax gently (bain-marie), without exceeding 80°C. Pouring is usually done in a single step, then left to cool slowly at room temperature (20-25°C).

Professional Tip: Patience is Key!

The colour and shape of the flakes may vary depending on availability and harvest, but performance remains consistent. After pouring, let the candle cool naturally at room temperature (20-25°C) and allow a curing period of a minimum of 48 hours before any burn testing. This ensures a perfect set and burn for the candle.
