Concentrated BEKRO candle pigment in flake form, 10 g. Colour – Dark Brown.

Colour type: 100% pigment
Colour code: 255
Colour: Dark Brown
Weight: 10 g
Manufacturer: BEKRO
Made in: Germany

Application

This pigment is primarily intended for:

• external candle colouring;
• decorative candle finishes;
• overdipping candles in coloured wax.

Pigment particles do not dissolve in wax and therefore need to be evenly dispersed throughout the wax mixture.

Recommended Concentration

Recommended concentration: approximately 1–1.5%.

For example:

• 100 g wax – approx. 1–1.5 g pigment;
• 500 g wax – approx. 5–7.5 g pigment;
• 1000 g wax – approx. 10–15 g pigment.

One 10 g pack is sufficient for approximately 670–1000 g of wax mixture, depending on the concentration used.

How to Use

Add the pigment to fully melted wax and mix very thoroughly to disperse the pigment particles as evenly as possible throughout the wax mixture used for decoration.

The final shade may be influenced by:

• the type and natural colour of the wax;
• pigment concentration;
• other wax additives;
• dipping temperature;
• thickness of the decorative wax layer.

Thorough dispersion is particularly important for achieving an even, rich Dark Brown finish.

Important

This 100% Dark Brown pigment is intended for colouring the outer layer of candles, rather than for conventional through-colouring of the entire candle.

When used throughout the candle wax, solid pigment particles may affect wick performance, wax flow and burning characteristics. For this reason, this pigment is not recommended for through-colouring candles.

For through-colouring, use a suitable BEKRO oil-soluble candle dye. The corresponding BEKRO Dark Brown dye code is 44-2047.

We recommend making a small test batch before processing larger quantities.
