STRAHL & PITSCH proudly introduces our new line of all-natural candle blends...

PRODUCT  ADVANTAGES
•  Complex blend of tropical fatty acids and esters.
•  Ingredients are based on natural and renewable resources.
•  Finished candles are unique in appearance and physical characteristics.
•  Allows for higher fragrance loads with improved retention.
•  Scuff resistant surface.
•  Excellent release for molded candles.
•  Outstanding adhesion in container candles.
•  Clean, slow, even burn with little smoke when extinguished.

 HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS    PROCESSING GUIDELINES
•  Varying the pour temperature will produce a variety of crystal shapes and sizes.   •  Recommended pouring temperature 185° to 195° F.
•  Lighter colors give more contrast to the unique appearance.   •  Certain colors will enhance the crystal appearance.
•  A non-metal core wick is recommended. *   •  Choose a wick that is slightly larger than what is normally used for the specific candle diameter.
•  A small amount of heat applied to the surface will vary the appearance.   •  After the material has initially crystallized, break the surface.
•  Various shape molds will give different textures.   •  For second pour, recommended temperature is 150° to 170° F.
