Ez Soy Wax
Are you looking for a soy wax that has excellent scent throw hot and cold made from 100%
hydrogenated soybean oil? Then Ez Soy may be just what you are looking for! This wax does not contain animal products or by-products and has not been tested on animals. This product can be considered Vegan and Vegetarian!
Made from high quality, certified Kosher USA-grown 100% soybean oils that are non-toxic,
biodegradable & environmentally safe, Ez Soy is an excellent alternative
to traditional paraffin waxes. EZ Soy works great with most fragrance and
essential oils, requires no repours and has excellent adhesion to glass. EZ
Soy wax comes in flake form and can even be melted in the microwave! Perfect for
first time candle makers or larger production candle companies! Some degree of
bloom or frost can occur with any soy wax, testing of fragrances and dyes as
well as pouring temps can in some cases decrease or eliminate this. EZ Soy is
manufactured in the USA from soybeans grown right here in America! Soy waxes produce little to no
black soot when made and burned properly. EZ Soy will hold up to a 10%
fragrance load however we have had the best hot scent throw results using 6%.

Instructions for use:
Heat EZ Soy to 175-180*.
Add your dye and blend well, then add your fragrance and blend well. Allow the
wax to cool to about 105° and start stirring. When the wax reaches a slushy
stage, it looks similar to an Icee starting to warm up, pour the wax into room
temperature jars. The actual pour temp of the wax is about 95° but because it
is not completely fluid at this point, an internal temp is hard to achieve.
Pouring hotter will result in more frosting and tops that are not completely
smooth.
A starting point for testing
is a CD 12 works well with most scents in an 8 oz jelly jar candle. Most any
non metal core wick series will work well in soy. We suggest sample packs of
wicks for testing to find what works best for you! Zinc core wicks are not
recommended for use in soy wax.
EZ Soy can also be used
for votive candle. To use as a votive be sure to add mold release to the wax or
use mold release in the molds when using metal molds. Add about 5 TBSP per lb
of wax Stearic Acid to harden the wax for tarts and votives.
A MSDS for this product is
available in a printable format here.
For testing purposes, we offer for sale, 10 pound slabs or bags of wax.
*We
can only offer recommendations as to what wax will perhaps work best
for you but we cannot guarantee any certain wax to work best in any
application because of the many variables involved. The only way to
determine the appropriate wax selection is by experimentation. Test
burning will be necessary to determine the best wax for your candles!
