BEKRO officially lists colour code 5771-29 as Rust Red.

Recommended Dosage

Recommended dosage: approximately 0.1% of the wax weight.

For example:

• 100 g wax – approx. 0.1 g dye;
• 500 g wax – approx. 0.5 g dye;
• 1000 g wax – approx. 1 g dye.

At a 0.1% dosage, one 10 g pack is sufficient to colour approximately 10 kg of wax.

Use a smaller amount for a softer shade.

How to Use

BEKRO dye is designed for colouring candle wax throughout. Add the dye to fully melted wax and stir thoroughly until evenly distributed.

The final shade will depend on:

• the type and natural colour of the wax;
• dye concentration;
• fragrance oils and other additives;
• production and cooling conditions.

Vegetable waxes generally produce softer, less intense colours than paraffin wax. A higher loading may therefore be required for a deeper Rust Red shade.

We recommend making a small test candle before producing larger batches and assessing the final colour only once the wax has completely set.

Natural waxes may also develop frosting or pull away from the sides of the container. These effects are related to the properties of the wax and do not necessarily indicate a problem with the dye.
