Coconut wax Kerawax Coconut Container
Ingredients: coconut wax blend
Country of origin: United Kingdom
Use: production of decorative candles in jars.
Coconut wax has a lower melting point and is softer than other vegetable waxes, making it an excellent choice for making scented candles in containers. Coconut wax is characterised by its solid white colour, low crystallisation, excellent adhesion to the walls of the vessel and excellent burning quality.
The coconut wax blend contains a low percentage of soy wax impurities.

Production tips
- If you notice a weak or unstable flame, try a different size wick. The test ignition should be carried out at the earliest 48 hours after its manufacture.
- If the candle melts very quickly during the test and the amount of candle melting decreases, choose a smaller wick size.
- If the candle has an uneven surface and burns down the tunnel, choose a larger wick size.
- Candle moulds or containers must be clean. Use room temperature containers for making the candle, and best practice is to heat the containers up to 45°C, so that the candle is nicely distributed in the containers and glows evenly.
- Experiment with different wax dyes, scents and wicks to create the perfect candle. Each element has a different effect on the quality of the candle.
Recommended temperature
- It is not recommended to overheat the wax, as it loses its best physical and chemical properties (maximum heating temperature up to 85°C). The quality and effectiveness of the candle will remain unchanged, but overheating can affect the aesthetic aspect of the candle and may cause cracks in the surface of the candle.
- Melting point around 50°C.
- Pour point about 35°C.
- We recommend using paints at 75°C and liquid paints at 70°C.
- We recommend using fragrance oils at 70°C. When using fragrance oils, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for quantities, which range between 5-10%.
- Pour the candles into the moulds at 50-55°C.
- Leave the candles to set at room temperature at 25°C.
