The Right Ratio: Fragrance Oil And Gw 444 Usage

Golden Brands GW 444 is a natural soy wax containing a soy-based additive to reduce frosting. It has a higher melt point than other waxes, which enables it to retain a higher fragrance load and improve scent throw. In this article, we will be discussing how much fragrance oil to use when making candles with GW 444.

The melting point of GW 444 is 125 degrees F

Golden Brands GW 444 is a natural soy wax containing a soy-based additive to reduce frosting. The additive and its higher melt point of 125 degrees F enable it to retain a higher fragrance load and improve scent throw.

The higher melt point of Golden Wax 444, compared to the 464, helps with the candles' burn and keeping its shape. It is a great choice for making tealights. The wax is completely free of animal-derived substances and is not tested on animals.

Pouring temperatures will vary according to the container type and size, fragrance(s), essential oils, dye(s), and the candle effects you desire. Different container configurations result in various cooling rates. Cooling too quickly or too slowly can cause concaving and/or frosting. A recommended starting temperature is 135 degrees F. Pouring temperatures should be checked and confirmed according to seasonal changes and adjusted as necessary for the size/type of container used.

The pouring range is 100-110 degrees F

The pouring range for GW 444 wax is 100-110 degrees F. This is a lower temperature than the melting range, which is 125-135 degrees F. It is recommended that you add fragrance 5-10 degrees above the desired pour temperature.

The pouring temperature will vary according to the container type and size, the fragrance(s), essential oils, dye(s), and the candle effects you desire. Different container configurations result in various cooling rates. Cooling too quickly or too slowly can cause concaving and/or frosting. A recommended starting temperature is 135 degrees F.

GW 444 is a natural soy wax containing a soy-based additive to reduce frosting. The soy-based additive and a higher melt point enable it to retain a higher fragrance load and improve scent throw. It is designed for use in container candles and blends well with other waxes, such as paraffin, slack, and microcrystalline wax.

Add fragrance 5-10 degrees above the desired pour temperature

When using GW 444 soy wax flakes, it is recommended that you add fragrance 5-10 degrees above the desired pour temperature. The pour temperature for this wax is typically between 125°F and 145°F, but it is recommended that you experiment to determine the optimal pouring temperature for your specific container. The melting range for GW 444 is 125-135°F, and the pouring range is 100-110°F.

The higher melt point of GW 444, compared to other waxes, enables it to retain a higher fragrance load and improve scent throw. It is important to add the fragrance when the wax is within the melting range, but before it reaches the pouring range, to ensure that the fragrance is fully incorporated into the wax.

When adding fragrance to GW 444, it is also important to consider the type and amount of fragrance you are using. Fragrance oils, for example, can be added at a higher percentage than other types of fragrances. It is also important to note that the amount of fragrance you use will depend on the desired strength of the scent.

In addition to the type and amount of fragrance, the container type and size will also impact the amount of fragrance you use. Different container configurations result in various cooling rates, which can affect the strength of the fragrance. Therefore, it is important to consider the size and type of container when determining the amount of fragrance to use.

The higher melt point enables it to retain a higher fragrance load

Golden Brands GW 444 is a natural soy wax containing a soy-based additive to reduce frosting. The higher melt point of GW 444, compared to the 464, helps with the candles' burn and keeping its shape. The higher melt point also enables it to retain a higher fragrance load and improve scent throw. The melting range of GW 444 is 125-135 degrees F, with a pouring range of 100-110 degrees F. It is recommended to add fragrance 5-10 degrees above the desired pour temperature. The optimal pouring temperature can be determined through experimentation.

The higher melt point of GW 444 enables it to retain a higher fragrance load. This is because the higher melt point allows the wax to be poured at hotter temperatures, which increases the fragrance oil load. The higher melt point also helps the candle to burn longer and retain its shape. This makes GW 444 a great choice for making tealights.

The higher fragrance load of GW 444 also improves the scent throw of the candle. This means that the fragrance will be more noticeable and will last longer. The higher melt point and fragrance load also help to reduce frosting on the candle. Frosting is a white coating that can form on the surface of a candle, and it is caused by the wax cooling too quickly. By reducing frosting, the higher melt point of GW 444 helps to create a smoother and more even surface on the candle.

The higher melt point of GW 444 also allows for more flexibility in the pouring temperature. The pouring temperature can be adjusted within the range of 125-145 degrees F to achieve the desired results. This flexibility is especially important when using different container types and sizes, as well as when adding different fragrances, essential oils, and dyes. By adjusting the pouring temperature, you can control the cooling rate of the wax and prevent concaving or frosting.

Overall, the higher melt point of GW 444 enables it to retain a higher fragrance load, which improves the scent throw and reduces frosting. This makes it a popular choice for container candles, especially tealights. The higher melt point also provides more flexibility in the pouring temperature, allowing for better control over the cooling rate and the final appearance of the candle.

The wax is not recommended to be blended with beeswax

Golden Brands GW 444 is a natural soy wax containing a soy-based additive to reduce frosting. It has a higher melt point than other waxes, which enables it to retain a higher fragrance load and improve scent throw.

GW 444 is designed for use in container candles and blends well with other waxes, such as paraffin, slack, and microcrystalline wax. However, it is not recommended to blend GW 444 with beeswax. This is because beeswax has a lower melting point than GW 444, which could affect the performance of the wax blend.

When making candles with GW 444, it is important to add the fragrance oil at the correct temperature. The recommended pouring temperature for GW 444 is 125°F - 145°F, and fragrance oil should be added 5 - 10 degrees above this temperature. This will ensure that the fragrance is evenly distributed throughout the wax.

It is also important to note that the pouring temperature may vary depending on the container type and size, as well as the desired fragrance load and candle effects. Therefore, experimentation is recommended to determine the optimal pouring temperature for your specific container and fragrance combination.
