Adding Bright & Vivid Colors to Your Candles
Some wax blends will require a higher dosage of color due to the opacity of the wax blend. The shade of color attained with each dye will change in different wax blends. Additives such as micro wax, PE, Vybar, and stearin can affect the strength and shade of the color. Fragrances may react with the dye and can change the properties and the appearance of colors. The color of the fragrance may affect the dye’s shade of color.
For best results, use wax melters and batch tanks with indirect heating. Direct heating will deteriorate wax and destroy dyes. Temperatures that are too high and maintaining the wax formulation at high temperatures for extended lengths of time can result in color deviations.
Always add the same amount of color to your dipping wax for color consistency. Use a scale to weigh the components of your dipping formulation. Always dip candles at the same temperature. Temperature variations will result in color deviations. Too hot a dipping wax will make the shade of color on the candle appear lighter. Too cold a dipping wax will make the shade of color on the candle appear darker. Any variations in the over-dipping wax may change the color of your finished candle.
