What is IGI 6006 wax?
It’s a paraffin soy wax blend formulated for container candles. Known for its ease of use and excellent scent throw, 6006 wax is a go-to for both hobbyists and professional makers.
How long does IGI 6006 wax take to cure?
You should wait at least 24 hours before burning, but for best fragrance performance and wax/fragrance bonding, allow candles to cure for 5 days.
What is the best fragrance load for IGI 6006?
IGI 6006 can handle up to 10% fragrance oil by weight—plenty of room to build bold, richly scented candles with great hot and cold throw.
Can I use IGI 6006 for wax melts?
While primarily formulated for containers, some makers use 6006 for wax melts. Note that its soft consistency may not hold up as firmly as waxes explicitly formulated for melts.
What if I’m getting soot or uneven burning?
Sooting can happen with any paraffin wax if wicking isn’t correct. We recommend wick testing with each new blend to ensure clean, even burns.
