Moreover, it produces neither smoke nor odor. Our coconut wax can therefore be easily used with fragrances and dyes. This vegetable wax is biodegradable and vegan. No animal products were used, and no animal testing was carried out during its production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMelting Point and Usage Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe melting point of this Pillar coconut wax is \u003cstrong\u003e52°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. This low melting point saves time and energy in candle molding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, melt your wax between\u003cstrong\u003e 75°C and 80°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. Then add your fragrance, mix well, and pour immediately into your moulds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColorant Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer a wide selection of dyes to customise the colour of your candles. Available in liquid or granule form, these dyes can be added directly to melted wax. If you are using liquid dye, we recommend heating the wax to 70°C. For granulated dyes, it is best to heat the wax to around 75°C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, if you want a darker or richer color, add a little black dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coconut wax is compatible with a wide variety of fragrances, provided you choose high-quality ones. Low-quality fragrances may affect burning performance or weaken the scent throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results with our fragrances specially designed for \u003cstrong\u003emolded wax candles\u003c\/strong\u003e, we recommend a dosage of \u003cstrong\u003e5 to 12%\u003c\/strong\u003e. The fragrance should be added and mixed immediately before pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the wax reaches a temperature of \u003cstrong\u003e75°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, add the desired amount of fragrance. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure that the fragrance is evenly distributed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing Coconut Wax for Scented Molded Candles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider pouring into preheated molds to improve demolding properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimal Mold Filling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetter demoulding can be achieved by pouring the wax immediately after adding and mixing the ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal pouring, molds should be at room temperature and ideally preheated to improve demolding properties. The ideal mold temperature is 45-50°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWick Selection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural waxes, like coconut wax, often require slightly thicker wicks than those used for paraffin. However, if the wick is too large, it may cause the wax to overflow or burn too hot. Conversely, a wick that is too thin may not melt the surface well, creating a tunnel around the flame. If the flame flickers or the burn seems uneven, try another type of wick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor molded candles, we recommend using \u003cstrong\u003ecotton spool wicks\u003c\/strong\u003e. We have round or flat wicks suitable for this use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCooling Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter pouring, let the candle cool at room temperature (about 25°C), then allow it to rest for at least 48 hours before any use. This resting period allows the wax and fragrance to stabilize properly, ensuring optimal burning and a beautiful finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should let your candle rest for at least 48 hours before testing the burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe temperatures indicated above are the result of our internal tests and may differ from the values indicated in the supplier's technical data sheets.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerax","offers":[{"title":"5kg","offer_id":46167500357884,"sku":"CR-COCO-PILL-5","price":47.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20kg","offer_id":46167500521724,"sku":"CR-COCO-PILL-20","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"80 kg","offer_id":63767549247865,"sku":"CR-COCO-PILL-80","price":611.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/1772\/5436\/files\/cire-coco-moulee_639d7d25-2ce6-43ea-bf73-ba917d2882dc.jpg?v=1721285303","url":"https:\/\/tarredebougies.com\/en\/products\/coconut-wax-candles-pilar","provider":"Terre de Bougies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
