Multiwax W-445 Microcrystalline Wax(Tacky Wax) CTFA listed and compliant with FDA 21 CFR 172.886 and 178.3710, requirements for food grade waxes. 174/180 MP Multiwax® Microcrystalline waxes act as bases for chewing gum, lipstick, cold creams and ointments. Other uses include Batik, wax impregnated paper, film, foil, and corrugated board for food packaging. Other products such as crayons, candles and caulk to sealants and fine polishes start with microcrystalline wax. PLEASE CALL FOR CASE PRICING AND AVAILABILITY. 1- Microcrystalline waxes have great affinity for oil, which remains occluded in it and makes deep deoiling of these waxes very difficult. The low oil content microcrystalline waxes are required in various applications. The usual deoiling processes involve treatment with certain organic solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), tolune, and dichloromethane at low temperatures and use of expensive equipment and methods. 2- General definition: Natural ingredients are grown, harvested, raised, and processed in an ecological manner. They are NOT produced synthetically or extracted using petrochemicals. Natural ingredients are also not extracted using anything other than natural ingredients as solvents. Unfortunately, there is no official, U.S. government-regulated definition for the term natural (pertaining to the natural products and cleaners industry). However, the FDA refers to natural ingredients as "ingredients extracted directly from plants or animal products as opposed to being produced synthetically."

Great for water candles this additive raises the meltpoint thereby hardening the wax. Improves gloss and color brightness. Also it improves flexability where desirable i.e. water candles and adds toughness to the candle. It can cause burning problems but is well suited for use in overdip layers or hurricane shells. Meltpoint is approx 220F, MELT SEPARATELY and then add to wax.

W1000 Polyethylene Wax. The Epolene waxes are used to raise the melt point, lock in oil (Frag), give shine to pillar candles & add toughness to wax blends. Great additive to soy pillar candles. Raises melt point of 150 wax to 160 wax. For raising melt point we recommend 1 oz per pound of wax. Polyethylene Wax (Luster Crystals) is used to add a glossy surface to pillar, votive, and other molded candles. This will increase candle hardness and will effect the candle burn rate. A larger than typical wick is usually necessary when using Polyethylene Wax as an additive. Addition will also help with color distribution. Polyethylene Wax will prevent mottling. Use should be limited to less than 2%. quote from supplier... "When we made the soy/paraffin pillar candles for xxxxxx Candle we used it to lock in fragrance, make the surface shiny & make the pillar tougher because soy waxes have almost no flexibility and are very brittle."

Polyboost 165 is simular Vybar 103 is a polymer designed to partially replace Stearic acid. It provides excellent dispersion of color and fragrances, increases hardness and improves the plasticity of waxes. This will clear up mottling in paraffin waxes. Stick to recommended measurement of 1/2 teaspoon per 1 lb of wax. Maximum usage 1 teaspoon per 1 lb of wax. Too much Vybar will have reverse affects and will not "clear" up any mottling of paraffin waxes.
