Golden Wax 464 Soy Wax (Golden Wax 5702-02-02)

Golden Wax 464 is one of the most popular soy waxes for container candles, trusted by hobbyists and professional makers alike. Made from American-grown soybeans, it’s a clean, natural, and renewable wax that delivers excellent results in jar and tin candles.

Technical Specifications & Performance Highlights:

* Melt Point: 115–120 °F (≈ 46–49 °C)
* Suggested Pour Temperature: 125–145 °F
* Fragrance Oil Load: 7–9% (can often hold up to 10%)
* Form: Packaged in convenient flakes for easy measuring and melting.

Key Advantages:

1) Eco-Friendly & Renewable: 100% soy, non-toxic, and sourced from U.S. farmers.
2) Clean Burn: Produces significantly less soot than paraffin wax; virtually soot-free when wicked and burned properly.
3) Great Adhesion: Lower melt temperature improves adhesion to glass containers, reducing wet spots.
4) Smooth Appearance: Provides a creamy, opaque finish with reduced frosting compared to many soy waxes.
5) Equipment-Friendly: Works with standard candle-making equipment—no special tools required.

Usage Guidelines:

* Heat wax to 170–185 °F to fully liquify.
* Add fragrance oil (and dye, if desired) at 170–175 °F, stirring gently for 2 minutes.
* Cool to 125–145 °F before pouring into containers for best adhesion and smooth tops.
* Cure: Allow candles to cure for at least 1–2 weeks for optimal fragrance throw.

Best For:

Container candles (jars, tins, tumblers). Not recommended for pillars or wax melts/tarts.
