BEKRO Candle Dye & Pigments

Concentrated candle dye, dye-pigment mixtures & 100% pigments "Bekro" in the form of flakes / chips.

Dye and dye-pigment mixtures are suitable for coloring candles. They aren't suitable for dipping over candles or external decoration as the dye may "migrate". The recommended concentration is 0.1 - 0.2 percent dye per wax mass, for example 1 - 2 g dye is sufficient for 1000 g wax.

100% pigments are used for dipping candles and for external decoration purposes. When using pigments, it's recommended not to exceed a concentration of 1 - 1.5 %. Not suitable for dyeing through as these pigments may clog the wick. Exclusion: Only very light pigments (e.g. cream-coloured) may be suitable for coloring the candle mass.

The same dye from different production batches may have different forms depending on the production line in which it was made: chips or granules. The formula of the dye remains the same!

Important note: The colors for dyeing through correspond to the pigments in poured candles with a wax mixture of 90 % paraffin and 10 % stearic acid. In vegetable wax, the dyes may not be as intense as shown in the photos. If you add more dye than the maximum recommended concentration, you might not get a more vivid color than the one shown in the photo. Too much dye can clog the wick of the candle, the wax can change its structure and this can also change the smell of the burning scented candle. Find out what the color would look like when the wax hardens by applying a little melted wax mixed with dye to a cold surface.

What is the composition of these dyes / pigments?

These are pigments / dyes of organic origin that were not tested on animals and are suitable for vegans. It is important to know that these dyes are not of natural origin, as there is no natural dye for candles - they would not burn properly and disappear within a week as they are very unstable.

What can be done to make the dyed wax less frosty?

The production temperature should be regulated. Frost usually occurs when the wax is overheated and the surface wax crystals that solidify in this way freeze very quickly and acquire this undesirable structure. It is recommended to work at lower temperatures or to make a color concentrate in advance (for example, if a total of 10 kg of wax is heated, then 1 kg of this amount is heated in advance separately at high temperature by adding the required amount of color and then mixed with the remaining 9 kg of wax. Frosting in wax with color is much more visible than without color.
