Concentrated BEKRO candle pigment in flake form, 10 g. Colour – Gold Yellow.

A warm, rich golden-yellow shade primarily intended for overdipping and external colouring of candles. Suitable for creating a decorative coloured wax layer on the candle surface.

Colour type: 100% pigment
Colour code: 311
Colour: Gold Yellow
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.

For the best result, the pigment should be thoroughly dispersed before the wax is used for overdipping.

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.

Important

100% pigments are primarily intended for colouring the outer layer of candles, rather than conventional solid-colouring of the entire candle.

When pigment is used throughout the candle wax, solid pigment particles may influence wick performance and burning characteristics. A full burn test with the chosen wax, wick and pigment concentration is therefore essential.

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