Moldable Soy Wax APF – Plant-Based and Hard for Molded Candles

APF soy wax is a high-melt-point plant-based wax formulated for moulded candles: pillar candles, taper candles and figures that must hold their shape without a container. Compared with BPF soy wax (for containers), it provides the hardness needed to release from the mould without deforming, with a natural matte finish.

Features

• Format: flakes / beads, creamy white.
• Origin: plant-based (hydrogenated soybean oil).
• Melting point: 57-63 °C.
• Pouring temperature: 65-70 °C.
• Fragrance load: 6-8% (maximum 8%).
• Slight shrinkage on cooling for easy mould release.
• Storage: cool, dry place (~25 °C).
• Sizes: from 1 kg to 1000 kg.

Recommended uses

• Pillar candles, taper candles and decorative figures without a container.
• Not recommended for container candles: it is too hard and may crack; use BPF soy wax for containers.
• Beginners and crafters with the 1-2 kg packs; brands and manufacturers with 20-40 kg sacks and pallets of up to 1000 kg.

Usage tips

• Clean the mould. Silicone moulds need no release agent; for metal or rigid plastic, apply release spray or vegetable oil.
• Fix the wick to the base with putty or tape and keep it taut with a holder. For 6-7 cm pillars, use a cotton wick for that diameter: soy burns cooler than paraffin.
• Melt at 70-75 °C until the wax is fully clear with no crystals.
• At 65-70 °C add fragrance (6-8%) and dye, stir and pour at that temperature (±5 °C), away from draughts.
• Let it cool undisturbed for 12-24 h depending on size and release it once cold, without forcing.
• Frosting (white bloom) is natural in soy and does not affect the burn; slow cooling reduces it. For extra hardness, add stearic acid (2-5%); blending with paraffin is possible but the wax will no longer be 100% plant-based.
