EcoSoya PillarBlend is a plant-based bead blend formulated for scented molded and pillar candles. It is the most rigid of our mold waxes: it holds edges and details and gives a clean release.
It is used without additives and takes powder, liquid or block dyes. It holds up to 10% fragrance and is poured between 55 and 65 °C into preheated molds, which improve release. For larger pillars, just top up before cooling completely. It contains no animal-derived products.
Available in 1, 5 and 20 kg packs. In the technical data sheet you will find temperatures and the calculator for the mold volume.

!Fragrance on the surface: stay within 10% and use fragrances for natural waxes.
!Sinkhole in the center: top up with slightly warmer wax.
!Tunneling or soot: larger or smaller wick; trim to 6 mm.
