NatureWax vegetable wax applications
Church lights: Also 
known as 'Grave lights,' our NatureWax vegetable waxes are well suited to the production process, and to the long burn-time requirements of this candle type. The waxes can be blended with soft paraffin grades; for a fully vegetable-based candle, the 635-41 grade is recommended.
Container & Scented: A wide range of NatureWax vegetable waxes can be used in container candles, depending on the requirements of the formulator; typical blend ratios are 70-80% vegetable wax and 20-30% mid-melting paraffin wax, and selected grades are suitable for the forumation of pure vegetable candles. For scented candles, NatureWax 615 and Elite 600 are especially recommended; low odor, light color, excellent shelf-life stability and good frangrance compatibility are key benefits. For general use, NatureWax Elite 500, availabe based on segregated RSPO-certified palm, is highly appreciated for its technical performance: smooth crystallization and surface features, no shrinkage, light color, and good compatibility with other wax types.
