Description & Uses |
| Bleached Square Braid |
YES
|
NO
|
YES
|
Good choice for waxes that are highly viscous when molten, like beeswax and vegetable wax. BL SQ wick is made to curl while burning, minimizing carbon build-up. It is made of 100% natural fibres and is finished with a natural sodium treatment to improve burn qualities. |
Cotton
(Including Tealight wicks) |
YES
|
NO
|
YES
|
Made for various candle systems such as votives, pillars and containers. It produces a robust flame and can help reduce carbon build-up throughout the burning. These wicks provide increased rigidity in the molten wax pool. Constructed of 100% natural fibres. |
Citronella
|
YES
|
NO
|
NO
|
The Citronella wick is ideal for buckets or large jars. This wick is constructed using extra large, high quality cotton fibres to give maximum rates of consumption with citronella. They are 100% natural fibres. |
Fibreglass
|
YES
|
NO
|
NO
|
These wicks are designed for use in food warmers, chaffing dish warmers, and other oil based applications. This wick is long lasting and are made of 100% fibreglass. |
| HTP |
YES
|
NO
|
YES
|
HTP wicks are self-trimming and are rigid due to the specially constructed braid. This wick is well-suited for tough-to-burn fomulations that contain many additives. It works especially well in vegetable, gel and the one-pour container wax (IGI4627). |
| LX |
YES
|
NO
|

This wick is also known as "regular" or "flat". This wick provides a slight curl when burning. This helps reduce carbon build-up. The main applications are dipped and extruded candles. |
| Performa |
YES
|
NO
|
NO
|
A high-performance curling wick with an exceptional stalk height (amount of wick above wax). These features promote a more symmetrical wax pool and a self-trimming posture. It's re-enforced design provides increase rigidity in the wax pool. It is also know to draw some of the harder-to-burn beeswax and viscous waxes. Constructed of 100% natural based fibres. |
Zinc
|
NO
|
NO
|
YES
|
The zinc core gives this wick great rigidity. The zinc used in these wicks are not lead alloys: they are zinc. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, a lead-cored wick is defined as a wick containing a metal core with greater than 0.06% lead weight in the metal. These wicks have a maximum lead content of 0.004% which is well below the US Consumer Product Safety Commission`s standard 16CFR 1500.17 (a) (13). |
