Point.2 Container Candle Production Process
Step 1. poundswax
lbsWax:per 9ozcontainer scaleout 200gWax
Step 2. Add flavor
Test candles for softness and fragrance , are attached to of the container Strength, AmountTakeFragrance 20g , is 200g 10% , at 65degreeStir
Step 3. Pour wax
Pour all three waxes into an unheated container at a temperature of 60 degrees
Step 4. Fix the wax core
After pouring wax, GentlyPull to the center t262>,Use wax core retainer to fixFragranceOil melts withThe color of waxafter mixingEcosoya is Reddish, Golden Wax is dark yellow, Nature Wax islight yellow
Step 5. Comparison of hardening time (after 1 hour)
The red of Ecosoya CB and the yellow of Golden Brands Wax stand out, while Nature Wax hardens to the brightest ivory
Step 6. Comparison of hardening time (after 3 hours)
Golden Brands Wax and Nature Wax harden to a elephanttooth color, the red color is still visible in Ecosoya CB
Point.3 Wax-up comparison
Ecosoya CB-Advanced Wax | Golden Brands 464 | C-3 Nature Wax |
Light ivory bead typeIt is oily, moist and crumbles lightly when touched |
Delicate flakes, the texture is moist and soft, with a greasy feel, so the stickiness between the flakes is very good, you can feel the greasy feel when you touch it, and it will soften when pressed |
It is a matte white flake, almost non-greasy, the driest to the touch, and has a crunchy feel |
Point.4 Comparison of surface and frosting phenomenon

Point.5 Glass adhesion comparison

The most stable adhesion to glass surfaces | Stable adhesion to glass surfaces | Stable adhesion to glass surfacesOver time, large areas of wet spots will form |
Point.6 Combustion comparison (odor diffusion and internal shrinkage/burning for 3 hours)
Ecosoya CB-Advanced Wax
Although there is almost no fragrance on the surface, the fermentation level is excellent when burned.During combustion, small bubbles may rise from withinBurns cleanly without soot, hardens most smoothly and stably after burning, and makes the wax surface redder in color
Golden Brands 464
The surface smell is weak, and it has excellent aroma spreading power when burning.It burns cleanly with no soot
C-3 Nature Wax
It emits a strong fragrance on the surface, and its ability to emit fragrance when burned is relatively weak compared to emitting fragrance on the surface.Candle wax hardens and has a very soft texture, so it's perfect for use as a massage candleIt burns very cleanly with no soot. It burns relatively slowly. At the same time, you can see a slight residual wax on the edge of the container when burning.
