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.
