AFI 4400 is a premium, natural soy wax blend formulated to offer a smooth, creamy appearance and excellent fragrance throw. It is engineered to adhere well to glass containers and minimize common issues like frosting or "wet spots." Key Features & Benefits Superior Fragrance Throw: Designed to hold a high fragrance load (typically up to 10-12%), providing a strong scent throw both when the candle is cold and while it is burning. Clean Burning: Produces minimal soot and provides a slow, even burn. Excellent Adhesion: Specifically formulated to "hug" the sides of glass jars, reducing the appearance of air gaps (wet spots). Smooth Finish: Provides a flat, creamy top after pouring, often requiring less post-pour touch-up (like heat gunning) than standard soy waxes. Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable soy resources and is biodegradable. Technical Specifications Wax Type: Natural Soy Wax Blend Form: Typically sold in flake or pastille form for easy weighing and melting. Melt Point: Approximately 120°F – 125°F (49°C – 52°C). Recommended Pour Temperature: Usually between 125°F – 145°F (57°C – 63°C), though this can vary based on ambient room temperature and fragrance load. Max Fragrance Load: 10% to 12% by weight. Usage Recommendations Heating: Heat the wax to approximately 185°F (85°C) to ensure any additives or fragrance oils bond completely. Fragrance: Add fragrance oil at 185°F and stir gently for at least two minutes. Curing: For best results, allow the candles to cure for at least 1 to 2 weeks before burning to allow the fragrance to fully bind with the soy wax crystals. Common Applications: Best suited for all types of container candles, including jars, tins, and tealights. It is not recommended for pillars or tarts/melts as it is too soft to hold its shape outside of a container.
