Professional Wax Heating Profiles

Soy Wax (Container - e.g. Golden Wax 464)
Melt Target: 80-85°C (176-185°F)
Add Fragrance Oil: 85°C (185°F)
Pour Target: 55-60°C (131-140°F)

Eco-friendly, slow burning, prone to frosting. Requires high fragrance adding temperature for proper oil binding.

Beeswax (Pure Natural)
Melt Target: 62-65°C (144-149°F)
Add Fragrance Oil: 70-75°C (158-167°F)
Pour Target: 65-70°C (149-158°F)

Hard, golden wax with natural honey scent. Shrinks slightly upon cooling. High melting point.

Paraffin Wax (Classic Container/Pillar)
Melt Target: 55-65°C (131-149°F)
Add Fragrance Oil: 80-85°C (176-185°F)
Pour Target: 75-80°C (167-176°F)

Excellent scent throw and vibrant colors. Petroleum-based. Easy to pour and smooth tops.

Coconut Apricot Wax (Luxury Blend)
Melt Target: 70-75°C (158-167°F)
Add Fragrance Oil: 80°C (176°F)
Pour Target: 60-65°C (140-149°F)

Luxury soft blend, outstanding cold and hot throw, glossy tops, slow combustion.

Testing is paramountMelt pools, fragrance throws, and soot levels depend on specific wax brands, wick manufacturers, and room drafts. Always perform a 4-hour burn test on new formulation prototypes before committing to retail production.
