A&P Zinc Core Series Wicks have a cotton outer braid surrounding a thin filament of zinc. Zinc core wick produces the coolest flame and offers the most rigidity of all cored wick, providing support during pouring and burning. These wicks are constructed with 100% natural fibers.
The Zinc core wick produces a cooler flame but offers more rigidity amd longer burn times.
Concern over trace elements of lead has resulted in the Consumer Product Safety Commission defining a lead cored wick to be one containing greater than .06% lead by weight in the metal. Zinc wire has a maximum level of lead impurities of .004%, well below the standard. Zinc wicks are considered Lead Free
*A&P Zinc Core Series Wicks are tested and sized based on use in a Straight Paraffin Wax with No Additives. Wicking is based on the WIDEST area diameter of the candle you plan to make. This is typically not measured at the opening unless the container is perfectly straight up and down.

*We can only offer recommendations as to wick sizes and applications, but we cannot guarantee any certain wick to work in a certain application because of too many variables involved. The only way to determine the appropriate wick selection is by experimentation. Test burning will be necessary to determine the best wick for your candles! For testing, we offer for purchase, sample packs that contain 5 of each size wick within a series.
