Atkins & Pearce Candle WicksAtkins & Pearce Performa Wicks

Performa wick is a non-curling flat braided wick with a high stalk height. These features promote a more symmetrical wax pool and self-trimming posture. Its reinforced design provides increased rigidity in the wax pool as well as in drawing some of the harder to burn viscous waxes.

Performa wick is appropriate for applications such as tapers, pillars, beeswax, viscous waxes and medium to large containers.

ROCThe rate of wax consumption in ounces in one hour by the wick. The higher the burn rate the more wax which is being consumed. Used to determine how well a wick and wax combination is performing.
