Kerasoy 4120 for pillar candles

Kerasoy 4120 is a natural soy wax blend specifically developed for the production of pillar candles, votive candles and other free-standing candles. This is special because soy wax is usually too soft for free-standing candles. Kerasoy 4120 is biodegradable and vegan friendly. No animal products are used , and no animal testing has been carried out in its manufacture. The wax has a melting point of approx. 60 °C and a solidification point of approx. 47 °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 soy 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. For candle dyes, the wax should be heated to about 75 °C. Next, add the dye 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 mould. Depending on the size and shape of the candle to be made, the wax should have a temperature of about 55 - 65 °C when poured. For best results, the moulds should be at least room temperature, although preheating the moulds to approx. 45 - 50 °C can be advantageous.

Kerasoy is formulated so that only one pour is required. However, for larger candles, re-pouring may be necessary to achieve an optimal candle surface.

The candles should stand undisturbed at room temperature for 48 hours before use.

Further information

Soy wax should be stored dry, cool and protected from light. If the wax is exposed to high temperatures (> 85 °C) for too long, it can lead to discolouration of the wax. For candles in containers, we recommend Kerasoy 4130.
