Golden WAX waxes are made from 100% soybean oil and produced in Sweden by AAK.
These waxes are specially designed for containers and can be used without additives to make scented glass candles.
The "S41" is the European version, while in the US it is marketed under the name "464." This soy wax offers high fragrance retention, is extremely stable, and burns perfectly without emitting smoke.
This wax is optimized for all our fragrances
Characteristics
| Parameter | Value / Indication |
|---|---|
| Melting point (dropping point) | ≈ 41–47 °C |
| Recommended fragrance percentage | 8–10% (some suppliers indicate up to 15% with compatible fragrances) |
| Color compatibility | Liquid or flake soy food coloring; mix thoroughly to avoid streaking |
| Behavior | Good adhesion to glass; |
| Storage | Cool, dry, and free from odors; unopened. Typical shelf life ≥ 12 months. |
Rules of Use
- Melting: Melt slowly (water bath or melter). Avoid prolonged overheating (>85–90°C).
- Adding fragrance: When wax is around ~60°C ; stir 1–2 minutes, slow and steady until smooth.
- Fragrance percentage: Start at 8–10% . Go up to 12–15% only if fragrance allows and burn tests are positive.
- Pouring temperature: Pour at ~31°C (when the mix begins to “cloud”); helps reduce shrinkage and uneven surfaces.
- Container: Preheat the glass slightly (about 35–50°C ) to improve adhesion and reduce thermal shock.
- Curing: wait ≥ 48 hours before first tests; 7–14 days for full aroma development.
- Wick test: mandatory for every wax/fragrance/diameter combination. Evaluates flame, consumption, walls, soot, and hot throw.
Technical note: Soybeans may exhibit surface frosting /crystallization. Temperature control (melting/pouring/cooling) and stable environments help limit this.
Best practices emerging from forums & communities
- Do not overheat the wax: too high temperatures degrade the aromas and accentuate surface defects.
- Thorough mixing : Slow, steady stirring improves fragrance dispersion and burn consistency.
- Environment : Avoid drafts and sharp temperature changes during cooling to reduce cracking and staining.
- “Difficult” fragrances : some heavy fragrances may require lower % or gradual testing (8 → 9 → 10%).
- Document your tests : note wax batch, fragrance %, melt/pour temp, jar diameter, wick type, curing times.
Community recommendations are empirical: always verify with combustion tests under controlled conditions.
FAQ — S41 in brief
How much fragrance? 8–10% is the most stable range; consider up to 12–15% only with compatible essences and OK tests.
When to add the fragrance? Around 60°C, then stir well.
At what temperature should you pour? ~31°C, when the mixture begins to cloud.
Is it necessary to preheat the glass? Yes, 35–50°C helps with adhesion and surfaces.
How long does it take to cure? At least 48 hours; ideally, 7–14 days for maximum hot throw.
This sheet combines proven technical guidance and good craftsmanship. Always perform combustion tests before production.

Soy wax is a vegetable wax obtained from the seeds of the soybean plant.
It is used as an ingredient in candle making, cosmetics, and cleaning products. It is a natural , biodegradable wax with a low environmental impact. Furthermore, it is also free of toxins and odors, making it a perfect choice for making scented candles .
Soy wax is also softer and easier to clean than paraffin waxes.

- Specifica per candele in contenitore (vaso/bicchiere)
- Ottima adesione al vetro e superficie liscia
- Compatibile con elevate percentuali di fragranza
- Inodore e neutra, non altera profumi né colore
- Biodegradabile, priva di tossine e a basso impatto ambientale
Performance & Usage
Tipologia: Cera vegetale (Hydrogenated Soybean Wax – S41)
Forma: Scaglie / lastre
Colore: Avorio / crema
Odore: Inodore
Punto di fusione (dropping point): ≈ 41–47 °C
Fragranza consigliata: 8–10 % (testata fino a 12–15 % con fragranze compatibili)
Compatibilità colore: Coloranti liquidi o in scaglie per cera di soia
Solubilità: Insolubile in acqua
Shelf life: ≥ 12 mesi (conservata correttamente)
Performance & Usage
Indicata per la realizzazione di:
- candele in contenitore profumate
- candele decorative in vetro o ceramica
- produzioni artigianali e semi-professionali
Contribuisce a:
- superficie uniforme e finitura liscia
- buona adesione alle pareti del contenitore
- combustione pulita e regolare
- ottima resa aromatica (hot & cold throw)
Non indicata per:
- candele stampate o sagomate
- uso come additivo strutturale
- ambienti con forti sbalzi termici non controllati
Regole di Utilizzo
1) Fusione:
Sciogli lentamente a bagnomaria o in melter dedicato.
Evita surriscaldamenti prolungati oltre 85–90 °C.
2) Aggiunta fragranza:
Inserire la fragranza a circa 60 °C, mescolando lentamente per 1–2 minuti.
Percentuale fragranza: Inizia da 8–10 %.
Salire fino a 12–15 % solo con essenze compatibili e test di combustione positivi.
3) Riscaldamento Contenitore:
Preriscalda leggermente il vetro (35–50 °C) per migliorare adesione e ridurre shock termico.
4) Colata:
Versa a circa 31 °C, quando la cera inizia a velarsi (“cloudy”).
Riduce ritiri e irregolarità superficiali.
5/6) Curing:
Lasciare riposare minimo 48 ore prima dei primi test.
Ideale 7–14 giorni per pieno sviluppo dell’aroma.
7) Test stoppino:
Sempre obbligatori per ogni combinazione:
cera / fragranza / diametro / contenitore.
8) Fine:
Goditi la tua candela finita!
Nota Tecnica
La cera di soia può presentare frosting o cristallizzazioni superficiali, fenomeno naturale delle cere vegetali.
Un controllo accurato di:
- temperature
- raffreddamento
- ambiente stabile, aiuta a limitarne la comparsa.
Best Practice (community & laboratorio)
- Evita temperature eccessive: degradano gli aromi
- Mescola lentamente per una migliore dispersione della fragranza
- Raffredda in ambiente stabile, senza correnti d’aria
- Alcune fragranze “difficili” richiedono % inferiori
- Documenta sempre i test di combustione (lotto, % FO, stoppino)
