Heinz Verhaegh  Candle Wicks Heinz PK & PKN Wicks

The PK wick is a non-directional paper core wick with a high quality washed cotton braid around it. The PK series of wick can be used with most waxes and is preferred for container candles which require a rigid cored wick with a concentric burn pool.

The PKN series of wick is identical to the PK series except for the special patent-pending process to resist the corrosive action of the acidic nature of natural-based candle waxes.
