Palm wax Britz Wax BWC16 with ice crystal effect

The palm wax BWC16 is suitable for making glass candles, but is also suitable for votive and pillar candles. The main difference of palm wax compared to other waxes is that it leaves an interesting crystalline texture and pattern.

The wax burns cleanly and for a long time, is suitable for use as scented matches and is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The raw material, derived from completely natural palm fruits, is 100% natural and organic.

Palm waxes, including BWC16, can be a little harder to work with than other waxes as their properties can depend on the exact temperature and casting conditions, but the end result is often a unique and beautiful candle.

For Palm Wax BWC16, the recommended fragrance addition percentage is usually 6-8%, depending on the intensity of the fragrance oil and the desired fragrance strength. This means that approximately 60-80 grams of fragrance oil can be added per 1 kg of wax. It is best to add the fragrance when the wax has melted to a temperature of 80-85°C to ensure even distribution of the fragrance.

The recommended pouring temperature for Palm Wax BWC16 for glass candles is usually between 85-95°C. This temperature range helps to maintain the wax’s ability to crystallize and ensures uniform patterning and good adhesion to the glass.
