StabilioKST CDN6 Candle Wicks

STABILIOKST CDN6-6” pre-cut, pre-tabbed wick. 1.90” flame height; 1.80” burn pool.

StabilioKST Wicks are ideal for all you coconut wax lovers! The KST wick series (also known as the CDN series) are specifically constructed to excel in wax blends that tend to burn easier and hotter. StabilioKST wicks are ideal for tealights, votives, pillars and container waxes. This wick series is made of all-natural fibers, with a flat braided wick and a special all-natural paper filament to provide maximum heat stability and wick trimming. StabilioKST wicks are designed to have minimal curl.

Benefits of StabilioKST CDN wicks

CDN wicks are an adapted version of CD wicks, designed to be used in wax blends that tend to burn hotter and faster. These are often wax blends with coconut waxes in them, as coconut does respond faster to heat than other harder waxes (such as palm or beeswax).

CDN wicks are constructed the same as the CD wicks, same braid and same filaments, but they are treated with a salt-based solution to make the wick burn slower. This does not affect the aroma of your product, as the treatment does not have a smell, and it is not a chemical.

What type of waxes work well with StabilioKST CDN series wicks?

Since CDN wicks are designed to burn a little cooler, this often makes it a great choice for paraffin blends. Paraffin can tend to burn hotter than soy wax. Using a CDN wick in your para-blended waxes can help reduce the burn speed, and can help reduce the amount of soot, control overheated jars and reduce mushrooming often happening in paraffin based candles.

CDN wicks are also the most ideal wicks for coconut blended waxes, or waxes that respond more quickly to heat.

Can StabilioKST CDN wicks work with high fragrance load candles?

Yes, CDN wicks work great with high fragrance candles and can often burn better than other wicks allowing you to go down in the amount of fragrance you have to use in your candle. These have the same inherent construction as CD wicks, which are designed to help promote better hot throw.

Heavy vanilla or heavy floral fragrances can sometimes require a more powerful wick, so if you are finding that the CDN wick of choice is not burning as evenly as you’d like with those scents, increase your wick size by one and re-test.

Are StabilioKST CDN wicks self-trimming?

CDN wicks are self-trimming and traditionally experience less mushrooming than CD wicks. Careful trimming of the wick and proper sizing for the container will minimize this.

Mushrooming is caused when there is an imbalance between the amount of heat the wick puts off and the amount needed for the candle. Generally, this means that the wick is too large for the candle; either the flame and burn pool are too large, so you need to scale down in wick size, or the wick burns too hot for that specific wax type.

Do Shay wicks contain lead?

As always, all our wicks are zinc and lead free; made of natural fibers only.

For personal guarantees, always test each wick with each different wax type, fragrance and container. Personal testing is the only way to ensure how the wick will perform in your product.
