Rapeseed Wax Kerawax 4170 container wax

Rapeseed Wax Kerawax 4170 for Container Candles

Kerawax 4170 is a Rapeseed based wax blend specifically formulated for the production of glass candles, tea lights and other candles in containers. The wax does not contain any genetically modified products. Kerawax 4170 consists of easy-to-dose pastilles and has a melting point of 40 - 46 °C. With the appropriate wick, the wax has a good and low-soot burn. We recommend round wicks for natural waxes such as our BWR series.

Application

We recommend heating the wax indirectly in a water bath slowly until it is liquid. To do this, heat a pot with a little water. The wax is then melted in a metal bowl or a second pot in the water bath. This method ensures even melting and prevents the wax from overheating. Next, add the colourant and mix until it has dissolved. The fragrance should be added according to the fragrance manufacturer's instructions. The liquid wax can then be poured into the appropriate jars or containers. For a good result, the moulds should be at least at room temperature, although pre-heating to approx. 50°C can be beneficial.

Further Information

Kerawax 4170 should be stored dry, cool and protected from light. The wax should not be heated above 85 °C. For the production of free-standing candles, the candle wax is too soft.
