| Wax Type | Paraffin/Soy Blend |
| Pour temp | 170°F (+/- 5°) |
| Melt Point | 133°F |
| Max Fragrance | 10% or 1.6oz./lb. |
Advantages of using IGI 6006:
- Good adhesion to jars under optimal conditions (some containers may require heating prior to pouring the wax)
- High fragrance load - 8% to 10% fragrance loads are possible
- Smooth and creamy look
- Achieve vibrant and dark colors
- Excellent hot and cold throws
- Pre-blended; no additives required
Basic Guidelines:
- Melt point: 133°
- Heat wax to 185° - 195°
- Add dye if desired and mix thoroughly
- Add candle fragrance if desired and mix thoroughly
- Pouring temperatures should typically be around 160° to 180°, though experimentation is recommended to determine optimal pouring temperature
- Allow candles to cool as slow as possible to achieve good jar adhesion and create a smooth finish
- Wait at least 24 hours before burning
- Wick testing is recommended to achieve optimal burning characteristics and will vary with different combinations of wax, fragrance, dye, and container size
