PARAVEG CB \u2014 Kerawax 4105 Container<\/strong> is a soft mixture of paraffin and plant-based ingredients, in pellets, for jar candles.<\/p>\n

Kerax describes it as vegan. The manufacturer\u2019s current website states that the formulation also contains palm-based raw materials from RSPO-certified supply chains. It is a blend, not a purely plant-based wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Basic Preparation Instructions<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Use a clean, dry container suitable for candles and preheating. Preheat the container to at least 60\u00b0C<\/strong>, following the container manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/li>\n
  2. Melt the wax using controlled heat and a thermometer until it is completely liquid. The melting point is not the same as the heating temperature.<\/li>\n
  3. Add a suitable fragrance and mix thoroughly. Kerax specifies a range of 5\u201310%<\/strong> for the mixture\u2019s performance; confirm compatibility through testing. Use wax-soluble dyes.<\/li>\n
  4. Pour at 59\u201363\u00b0C<\/strong>. Allow to cool completely and conduct burn tests for each combination of container, fragrance, color, and wick.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    TDS v5.0 does not specify a particular wax heating temperature or a fixed curing time. Follow the instructions for the materials you are using and verify your process through testing.<\/p>\n

    Wick selection<\/h3>\n

    Candle.gr suggests the EcoStabilo<\/a> series as a starting point for testing PARAVEG CB. The final choice of type and size depends on the container and composition and is confirmed by a combustion test.<\/p>\n
