Golden Wax S41 is an extra-soft soy wax made in Sweden by AAK, designed for those who want jar candles with a smooth surface and an intense scent. It holds fragrance very well and burns cleanly, without smoke.
Its secret is the cold pour, at around 31–34 °C: this way the wax adheres perfectly to the glass and shrinks very little. It is the ideal choice for scented candles in glass, ceramic and tin, for both the demanding hobbyist and artisan production. It works well from 8 to 10% fragrance and, with compatible scents, up to 12%.
Available in 1, 5 and 25 kg packs. In the technical data sheet you will find temperatures, the wax and fragrance calculator and the SDS and PDS documents.

Highlights
•Scent: high fragrance retention and good hot throw.
•Surface: smooth and well adhered to the glass if poured cold.
•Burn: clean, smoke-free.
•Limit: little tolerance of drafts and cold rooms.
How to work with it
1Melt in a double boiler or melter, without exceeding 85 °C.
2Scent at about 60 °C: start from 8–10%, go up to 12% only after successful tests.
3Prepare warm containers, stable room, no drafts.
4Pour at 31–34 °C, when the wax starts to turn cloudy.
5Wait burn test after 48 h, full scent after 7–14 days.
Troubleshooting
!Frosting or marbling: typical of soy, more frequent after remelting; check temperatures or blend in 30–50% mineral wax.
!Separating from the glass: warmer container and slower cooling.
!Pitted surface: pour too hot or room too cold; get back within 31–34 °C.
!Tunneling: larger wick; first burn out to the edge.
Documents and safety
•CLP label: the wax alone carries no pictograms; the scented candle does, depending on the fragrance. Use the CLP label generator.
•Storage: cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light.
