Golden Wax 464 is a wax that contains a soy-based additive that is natural and kosher. Being a natural product it is susceptible to alter and differentiate between batches and seasons. This soy-based additive enables the soy to be poured at a hotter temperature reducing frosting and increasing fragrance oil load. These waxes blend well with paraffin slack wax and microcrystalline waxes. Golden Wax 464 has a higher melt point which enables it to retain a higher fragrance oil load to give you a stronger scent throw.

Golden Wax 464 can be very difficult to work with. Optimal fragrance ratio and pour temperatures are required for a flawless candle. These levels will vary based on your physical candle making environment.

How to use

1. Under gentle agitation melt the wax to a minimum of 75°C. This wax can be melted in a microwave - heat in short bursts (30-60 seconds) and stir. Repeat this process until wax is fully melted

2. Add fragrance oil at up to 8-10% load

3. Pour wax at 65°C. Do your own testing to determine the optimum pour temperature for your conditions. Try +/- 10°C

Please note:

Recommended melting and pouring temperatures are provided, but should be used as a 'start point' for your own testing as this is dependent on equipment facility conditions, candle configurations and seasonal changes. Due to this product being natural, there may be slight variation between batches.

Notes from manufacturer:

During the melting process the wax may appear to bubble as trapped air is released. The wax can also appear clear to milky when melted. A second resurface pour or reheat may be required to assist the wax to set evenly. We recommend to allow the wax to air dry before attempting to melt to eliminate the moisture interfering with the melting process.
The manufacturer has advised: “Flaked shortening may have visible condensate present due to temperature variables in the flaking process”. If this is the case be sure to test samples first to ensure stability with your fragrance.
