Heinz Stabilo Wicks
Soy Based, Pre-tabbed, Cotton Wicks
Stabilo wicks are coreless, non-directional, flat braided wicks with a special paper filament woven around them. The Stabilo wicks are great for natural waxes and great for soy wax!
This configuration is engineered to promote maximum and consistent capillary action while ensuring a wick trimming flame posture. The Stabilo series is used in many different applications and is especially compatible with the harder-to-melt viscous waxes of both paraffin and vegetable base. The Stabilo KST series of wick (we do not carry KST) is identical to the Stabilo series except that it has been treated with a special patent-pending process to resist the corrosive action of the acidic nature of natural-based candle waxes.

Glossary of terms
|
Yield |
Measured in yards of wick per pound in weight. The higher the yield, the smaller the wick and the flame and the resulting heat generated. |
|
ROC |
The rate of wax consumption in ounces in one hour by the wick. The higher the burn rate the more wax which is being consumed. Used to determine how well a wick and wax combination is performing. |
