ECO Series

The ECO series is a specialty flat wick braided with interwoven paper threads. This braiding technique gives the ECO series an increased stability level found only in square braided wicks. The ECO series is designed to improve the burning of solid scented, solid colored, pillar and container candles and has been found to perform very well in paraffin / natural wax blends. The ECO series has it’s own special chemical treatment which significantly reduces the afterglow normally seen in wicks containing paper.

Flat Braided

This wick is designed for use in pillars and tapers. This wick gives a slight curl when burning which reduces carbon buildup and makes the wicks self-trimming. This wick is ideal for hand dipping and extruding and dipping machines. This wick is constructed of 100% natural fibers with a chemical treatment to improve the burn performance.

HTP

HTP is a wick designed to provide the benefits of a self-trimming wick posture with rigidity found in cored wick. This rigidity is due to a specialty yarn fiber that is incorporated into the construction of the braid. This specialty yarn, which is 100% natural fibers increases the burn temperature, which results in less carbon buildup (Mushrooming). This is a good all around wick for paraffin, gel and vegetable waxes that require hotter burning applications.

Sustainer Base Information

Candlewic offers 9 different tabs that are availble on our wick clip assemblies. Our wick sustainers are made of tin coated steel. This tin coating helps prevent rusting and also stops possible corrosion caused by some of the heavier fragrances. In the past the wick sustainer was overlooked and just thought of as an insignificant part of the candle, today the clip is considered much more important. Sustainers with a longer neck are essential for safety in gel candles. The longer neck length enables the candle’s flame to be extiguished before it reaches the bottom of the containers. The 33 mm tab can also save you countless hours in prodcution. This tab is self-centering in our 15 hour votive molds and is very convenient in glass containers.
