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. A&P Cotton Core
(the Tealight Wick) have a cotton outer
braid surrounds an inner filament of cotton.. Both wicks are constructed
with 100% natural fibers.
The Cotton core wick produces the hottest flame
of all cored wick which helps control carbon buildup. The Zinc core wick
produces a cooler flame than the cotton core 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
