PE Wax Additive for Paraffin and Soy Waxes

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."
