Paraffin Waxes

Which type of paraffin wax should I choose?

It depends on how it will be used and the type of candle you want to make. For container candles, a low melting point paraffin wax usually works best, whereas for moulded candles, pillars or decorative pieces, a harder paraffin wax with a higher melting point is the better choice.

What melting point do I need?

Low melting point paraffin waxes are best suited to candles in glasses or containers. Medium or high melting point waxes work better for moulded or decorative candles, or pieces that need greater firmness and stability.

What is the difference between paraffin wax slabs, pellets and powder?

The main difference is the format you work with. Paraffin wax slabs are a classic, versatile option. Pellets make measuring and melting easier, and powdered paraffin wax can be handy for blends, formulations or more technical processes.

Can it be mixed with fragrances and dyes?

Yes, paraffin wax is compatible with candle fragrance oils and dyes, as long as they are used in the right proportions and added at the correct temperature.

Is it suitable for both container and moulded candles?

Yes, but not all paraffin waxes behave the same way. Some are better suited to container candles, while others are designed for moulded candles, pillars or pieces that need extra hardness. That is why it is important to choose the right grade for the result you want to achieve.

Can I buy paraffin wax in bulk?

Yes, our paraffin waxes are available in a range of formats and quantities, including for workshops, brands and ongoing production.
