Golden Wax 464

Golden Wax 464 is a premium soy wax blend, specifically designed for container candles, that has become a favourite among candle makers worldwide. Produced in the USA by AAK, this wax is made entirely from responsibly sourced soybeans, with a commitment to using certified deforestation-free crops by 2025. Its eco-friendly composition, smooth finish, and exceptional performance make it the perfect choice for creating high-quality candles that are both beautiful and sustainable.

Golden Wax 464 delivers consistent, reliable results, making it ideal for producing uniform candles with a smooth, creamy appearance. Its low melting point (45-48°C) helps to reduce frosting, a common issue with soy wax, and ensures excellent adhesion to glass containers. This adhesion minimises wet spots, giving your candles a polished, professional look. The wax also comes in a practical flake format, making it easy to measure, melt, and work with.

One of the standout features of Golden Wax 464 is its ability to hold and throw fragrance exceptionally well, outperforming many alternative waxes. It can accommodate up to 10% fragrance load, allowing you to create richly scented candles that fill any space with captivating aromas. Whether you’re using essential oils or fragrance oils, this wax ensures a strong scent throw, both cold and hot, that will leave a lasting impression. For a perfect finish, a heat gun may be needed to smooth out the tops of your candles, though it typically requires only a single pour.

This wax is specifically formulated for container candles and tea lights, offering excellent adhesion to glass, ceramic, or metal containers. Its smooth, creamy finish enhances the overall appearance of your candles, making it a top choice for elegant, high-quality creations. As a soy-based wax, Golden Wax 464 burns cleanly, producing minimal soot and ensuring a healthier indoor environment. Its slow burn time also enhances the longevity of your candles, providing excellent value for both makers and users.

Golden Wax 464 is incredibly user-friendly, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced candle makers. It requires a pouring temperature of 60-75°C and a curing time of at least two days at room temperature (18-25°C) for the best results. Its forgiving nature allows for creativity and experimentation with colours, fragrances, and container designs.

While Golden Wax 464 excels in many areas, it’s not suitable for pillar candles due to its softer texture. However, with proper temperature control and handling, you can easily avoid common issues like frosting or surface cracking, ensuring a flawless finish every time.
