Wick Waxes

We've searched the market place for the finest wick waxes. Wicks Unlimited offers a choice of three different wickwaxes: Standard, High Melt, and Vegetable wickwax.

All of our waxing machines are engineered and built to our exacting specifications and are exclusive to Wicks Unlimited.

Our goal in the design of these machines was 100% predictability in the quality of the waxed wick, whether used in the production of our wick clip assemblies, or sold on reels to our customers.

Choose the Appropriate Wax

When using non-metal cored wicks, there is the potential of the wick-wax melting and the wicks flopping upon pour. A similar situation can occur in a 180° burn pool where the standard wick-wax will melt, and the wick may wind up floating in the burn pool.

These issues can be rectified by using a 210° high melt wax in conjuction with the non-metal cored wicks.

There is a difference in Wick Waxing

Wicks Unlimited’s waxing procedures saturate the wick to its core by gently forcing air out of the raw wick. This allows the wick to burn in a more uniform and predictable manner, and makes it easier to work with in production.
