Recommended Dosage

A suggested starting dosage is 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 theoretically sufficient to colour approximately 10 kg of wax.

The dosage can be adjusted depending on the wax and desired colour intensity.

How to Use

Add the dye to fully melted wax and mix thoroughly until dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the wax.

BEKRO 16-1821 belongs to the oil-soluble dye range intended for through-colouring candles. Unlike 100% pigments, it is designed to dissolve in the wax rather than remain as dispersed solid pigment particles.

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. The natural cream or yellow tone of vegetable waxes may also influence the finished colour.

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