Dyes for scented candles

In Gran Velada you will find a wide variety of colorants to make scented candles. We have at your disposal a varied palette of colors and different formats of dyes: powder pigments, grease anilines and liquid dyes. The three options will allow you to make scented candles with the color you like the most.

So that the final finish is perfect, from Gran Velada we recommend doing small stability and coloration tests before applying it on the final product. And it is that an excess of dye can cause part of the added content decant and in the lower part of the glass specks of colors are appreciated.

The dose will depend largely on the result we are looking for, but keep in mind that a small amount is enough to obtain a high performance. With the same colorant can be achieved from intense colors to pastel tones, everything will depend on the amount we throw.

Candle-making dyes are added when paraffin is completely liquid at a temperature of about 80°C. The color is added to the taste and stirred well so that the wax is impregnated well with color.

If you want to see how the tone looks, you can do a color test. How? Very simple, you put a drop of the mixture of paraffin and dye on a surface, if it is cold much better, for example a tile. When it has solidified you will see what tone remains. The final result will be a little darker, since there is more paraffin and dye is more opaque.

In our online store the dyes for aromatic candles are sold in different formats. You will find from small containers to higher quantities. Depending on the number of candles you are going to make, you must choose one or the other. Of course, keep in mind that they spread a lot.
