IGI 6006 Paraffin/Soy Blend Wax is the best of both worlds for container candles and tealights, offering paraffin's strong fragrance throw and easy burning with the appealing look and usability of soy. This blend can hold up to 10% fragrance oil per pound of wax and creates a semi-glossy finished candle. IGI 6006 makes it easy to get smooth tops and glass adhesion. It requires no additional additives to achieve optimal performance—just add color and fragrance.

Packaged in soft slabs, IGI 6006 is easy to cut up and measure for use. The weight on slabbed wax can vary slightly. Cases contain 4 slabs of wax packaged together in a reinforced cardboard box.

Candle Maker's Notes: 

Paraffin waxes tend to have darker soot over soy when burning. If you're experiencing excessive soot, we recommend testing different wick sizes, or double wicking in larger containers (3.3"/8.4 cm diameter or larger).

Helpful Tips

  • Cure for 5 days before burning for maximum hot throw.
  • Use our Wick Guide to help get your testing started.

Since I started using 6006 I've broken up with all the others. My preferred wicks are the Premier. They work really good for me.

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye however I’m having trouble getting a HT and a full melt pool using the recommended wick. I used Eco 4 - 4 hours in no full melt pool ,used Eco 8 it tunneled .

I made some candles with this wax and love it! Easy to work with and candles look beautiful. Can you tell me what is the ratio of paraffin and soy in this brand? I want to be able to tell my customers if they ask, also how should I label my candles? Soy?

Thank you in advance

I started my candle business journey last year and have been in the " testing phase" for most of that time. I tried so many other waxes and none of them stood up to the quality of scent throw that I wanted to see in my product and still remain in the soy candle area. Everyone that gets one of my candles now reviews back on how well they smell. I have just one concern and perhaps there is something I could be doing to prevent the side shrinkage, since I use the status jars and straight sided libbey jars, the shrinkage is pretty noticeable, but it doesn't do that to all the candles. Is there something I need to make sure I do? Im not sure what im missing because I usually make batches of 2 to 4 at a time. Is it just inconsistent temps? either way thank you Candle Science. I love your oils too.

Ps I use HTPS 377 or 399 depending on my jar im using and the scent throw fills up my 30 ft living room and drifts into the kitchen

I started making candles in 2020 with this wax. I've been a fan since. the only issue I had was with wicking. I found that for me, CD wicks work best. Some people will say to try others to see if I still feel the same way, but if its not broken I'm not trying to fix it.
