CANDLE WICKS

ADC is a distributor of candle wicks.

Choosing the right wick for your candles is of vital importance, as the wick is the engine of your candle.

The heat of the flame melts the wax, and this liquid wax, by capillary action, is “pumped” by the wick to fuel combustion.

Your choice of wick will depend on the wax you use, the type of candles you make (cast or molded), the diameter of the candle, and the fragrances and dyes you use...

For best results, it's essential to carry out trials.

The flame and heat generated depend on the thickness of the wick, and in particular on the number of wires making up the wick braid. The greater the thickness, the bigger the flame and the faster the wax burns. So, for long-lasting candles, it's important to calibrate your wicks correctly.

A wick that's thick enough to prevent the flame from drowning, but thin enough to keep the flame moderate so the candle doesn't burn out too quickly.

We also supply all types of wicks: rayon wicks, cotton wicks woven with vegetable fiber, candle wicks, garden candle wicks, wicks with linen fiber, paraffin wicks, unmounted or mounted, cut to desired length, “square” braided cotton wicks, coil wicks, etc...

Please tell us about your requirements and we'll find the ideal wicks for all your projects.
