TitanWax 5342 100% Paraffin Tart/Melt/Container Wax

TitanWax 5342 100% Paraffin Tart/Melt/Container Wax- this is a 100% paraffin wax that is ideal for tart and wax melts. This can also be used as high heat throw container wax. You can use this wax on its own, or you can blend with any other wax to create you own custom blend. Sold in 5 pound slabs, 10.5 pound slabs, and 42.3 pound boxes.

Since this is 100% paraffin, the heat throw is excellent. Wax tarts/melts made with this will smell up the whole house! Super easy to melt and pour; single pour; extremely smooth. Can handle up to 10% fragrance load. 5342 is created to rival IGI’s 4786A.

• Melt wax to 140°F-165°F.. If you heat and keep at 200° or higher for any extended amount of time you can scorch the wax and it will start turning cream/brown in color
• Stir melting wax frequently to evenly distribute heat
• You can add fragrance/essential oil/dyes immediately. Stir well to allow the scent/essential oil/dye to completely blend in. I suggest a couple of minutes to ensure good dispersion. You can add 5-110% scent/essential oil. You will have to determine the desired amount based upon your scent/essential oil and how strong you want your candle to smell.
• You can pour immediately, no need to cool for pouring
• Allow the finished candle/tart to stand for 72 hours before testing. Ideal cure time is 2 weeks.

Storage: Keep in enclosed box.

Paraffin wax- I have worked very hard to cultivate a high integrity line of products, including the various candle waxes we carry. We continued to put pressure on the coconut/soy/apricot blends until they made one without paraffin. Titan 5470 met that standard and it is a beautiful wax, easy to work with, and great cold and hot throw.

We have also introduced a few paraffin blends, manufactured by a company that works to offset the carbons. Paraffin waxes have come back into popularity because soy waxes just will never put off the hot throw like paraffin does. It is important to know the intention behind your product, then to create it based on that intention. If your intention is solely to have the biggest hot throw, then paraffin is where it is at. If your intention is to have a purely plant-based candle, then soy or coconut is where it is at. If you want to have a high quality, lovely candle that encompasses a great hot throw and utilizes plants, then a parablend is where it is at.

We here at Shay and Company have worked very hard to have the highest quality ingredients, US sourced in possible, organic if possible, sustainable if possible, and good for you and your customers.

Heat throw- I have a lot of customers ask about increasing the heat throw on their candles. Natural candles (soy, coconut, palm and beeswax based), that don’t contain paraffin can burn differently, and sometimes softer, than candles that are made with paraffin. This is not a bad thing; it just means you get to play around a little with the natural waxes and your scents to make your candle. I have had several customers add Coconut 1 (pure coconut wax) to our other waxes (any will work). The addition of the coconut seems to help boost the scent throw. The other option is to add stearic acid to the candle. I have heard of them adding up to 10% to the base to increase the hardness of the candle and increase the scent throw.

Titan Wax non-GMO statement: Hydrogenated Soybean oil can be produced from soybean crops that were genetically modified, the GMO markers/DNA stay within the soy protein/meal when it is processed, and they therefore do not transfer to the oil that is extracted and hydrogenated into soy wax.

We carry a variety of different waxes for candles. You can use any of these waxes on their own, or you can blend any or all of them together. Each wax does come with full instructions on how to best use it. Candle making is an art, so please know that you will have to test each candle wax and each scent to make sure it performs the way you want it to. Each fragrance can/will behave slightly different; each wick will behave differently; each wax will behave differently. Do your production tests for each blend, make sure to measure out your ingredients by weight, not by drops or teaspoons, and keep good notes so you can replicate your successes!

Here is information on the other waxes we carry.

Bayberry Wax- Bayberry candles have traditionally been burned both for their enticing, soothing aroma and it is said burning Bayberry candles brings wealth and prosperity! You can use Bayberry wax to create dipped taper candles, pillar candles, votives, and container candles. It is slightly softer than beeswax so you can always blend yellow beeswax and bayberry wax together to create a firmer candle.

Beeswax Beads, Yellow, for Candles– these are beeswax beads that are specifically designed for use in candles. This specific beeswax is not intended to be used in anything other than candles. This is a 100% beeswax; can be used in tapers, pillars, and container candles. This will have the beeswax aroma. This is the beeswax you will use to add into your soy and coconut blends to give firmness and heat throw. Harder candles burn longer and stronger.

Organic Yellow Beeswax– this is a fantastic, 100% beeswax with a lovely honey aroma. You can use this in tapers, pillars, and container blends. It will have the beeswax aroma when burning. These are organic and more expensive, so I would only suggest using these if you are promoting an organic candle.

White Beeswax Beads– these are a traditional white beeswax. Can be used in candles or any other application. You would use these in your candles if you want the finished beeswax candle to be white.
