Paraffin Wax & Paraffin Blends

Here you can find many different straight paraffins & parraffin blends. The lower the melting point the softer the paraffin is. The most commonly used paraffin in candle making and other general purposes is the 140 MP straight paraffin. When making candles it is always best to try different temperatures to see what works best for you as there are so many different situations such as glass/mold size, temperature of working enviroment, fragrance/color percentages, etc. We now carry Emulsifying wax, call for quantity pricing. WE HAVE A FORKLIFT TO LOAD YOUR TRUCK.

140 Paraffin Pillar Wax (General Purpose Wax)

140 Pillar Candle Wax 139 MP For Molded Candles our "General Purpose" This wax is a drop in replacement for BP 139 or IGI 140.
