Made from 100% natural soy bean wax and supplied as small, smooth, uniform white pellets, these granules deliver the consistent melting behaviour, excellent fragrance retention, and predictable production performance that serious candle makers demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWith a melting point of 56–58°C and an ideal pouring range of 70–80°C, Soy Wax Granules are specifically suited to mould and pillar candle applications — the higher melting point produces a firmer, harder wax than typical container soy waxes, giving pillar and mould candles the structural integrity they need to hold their shape at room temperature and through warm Australian conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOur Soy Wax Granules are supplied with a Certificate of Analysis from Jiaxing Hudong Household Auxiliaries Co., Ltd. (Batch 202603011, manufactured March 2026) confirming melting point 58°C, acid value 0.21 mgKOH\/g, moisture 0.02%, and peroxide value 0.01 g\/100g — all comfortably within specification, confirming a fresh, high-purity batch. Supplied in 25kg durable bags — the production-volume format for candle businesses, workshops, and professional candle makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe uniform pellet form eliminates the clumping, bridging, and material inconsistencies associated with soy wax flakes — pellets feed consistently into melting pots, measure accurately by weight, and produce minimal dust.

Adding fragrance at the correct temperature maximises binding — too hot and fragrance may flash off or separate; too cool and fragrance may not disperse evenly. Stir gently and thoroughly for 2 minutes to fully incorporate fragrance. Fragrance load: 6–8% of wax weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColouring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd candle-safe dye chips or blocks to the melted wax before adding fragrance.

This is ideal for pillar and mould candles, producing a firm, hard wax that holds its shape without a container at room temperature, including during warm Australian summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use these granules in container candles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — these granules have a melting point of 58°C which is too high for container candle applications. Container soy waxes typically melt at 46–50°C and are specifically formulated to adhere to glass or tin container walls on cooling. At 58°C, this wax will produce a hard, brittle surface that cracks and pulls away from container walls. For container candles, use a purpose-formulated container soy wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fragrance load do these granules support?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe suggested maximum fragrance load is 6–8% of wax weight. At 6% you will achieve good scent throw; at 8% you are at maximum capacity. The actual performance depends on the specific fragrance oil used — some fragrances bind better than others, and potency varies significantly between fragrance types. Testing at your chosen rate with each fragrance is strongly recommended before committing to full production batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat temperature should I pour at?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe suggested pouring range is 70–80°C. Add fragrance at 70–75°C after removing from heat, stir thoroughly, and pour while still fluid. Pouring too cool (below 70°C) can cause poor fragrance binding, uneven surfaces, and air bubble incorporation. Pouring too hot (above 85°C) can cause fragrance to flash off and may affect surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to do a relief pour?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — soy wax contracts as it cools, typically forming a sinkhole around the wick in pillar and mould candles. Once the initial pour has cooled to approximately 50°C at the surface (still slightly warm to the touch), perform a small top-up relief pour to fill the sinkhole and level the top surface. This is standard practice for all mould candle production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much fragrance do I use per kilogram of wax?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 6% fragrance load: 60g of fragrance oil per 1kg of wax. At 8% fragrance load: 80g of fragrance oil per 1kg of wax. Always weigh your fragrance — do not measure by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store the 25kg bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore in a cool, dry location away from direct heat and sunlight. Soy wax granules begin to soften and clump above 58°C — in hot Australian summer conditions, particularly in Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia, store in an air-conditioned or temperature-controlled space. Keep the bag sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eYOU MAY ALSO NEED\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/fragrance-oils\"\u003eFragrance Oils\u003c\/a\u003e — phthalate-free fragrance oils for soy wax pillar candles; 6–8% load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/candle-supplies\"\u003eCandle Wicks\u003c\/a\u003e — pre-tabbed and raw wicks for pillar and mould candle production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/candle-supplies\"\u003eCandle Supplies Collection\u003c\/a\u003e — moulds, dyes, pouring jugs, and all candle making accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/essential-oils\"\u003eEssential Oils Collection\u003c\/a\u003e — natural essential oils for soy wax candles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/products\/carnauba-wax\"\u003eCarnauba Wax\u003c\/a\u003e — add 2–5% to soy pillar wax for increased hardness, surface gloss, and higher melting point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"\/collections\/fragrance-oils\"\u003eFragrance Oils Collection\u003c\/a\u003e — shop all Soapmaid fragrance oils for candles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eKEYWORDS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003esoy wax granules Australia, pillar candle soy wax Australia, soy wax pellets Australia, bulk soy wax 25kg, soy wax pillar candle, natural soy wax candle making, soy wax granules Melbourne, soy wax COA, soy wax 58 degree melting point, mould candle soy wax Australia, soy wax granules vs flakes, soy wax pellets candle making, 100% natural soy wax Australia, soy wax pillar vs container, soy wax granules bulk buy, candle wax Australia, soy wax fragrance load, soy wax pouring temperature, soy wax granules 25kg, professional candle wax Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-action-bar=\"\" class=\"flex justify-start ml-0.5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-text-300\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soapmaid","offers":[{"title":"1kg Bag","offer_id":45724613443770,"sku":"WAX-CMAID-PIL-1KG","price":14.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20kg Box","offer_id":45724613476538,"sku":"WAX-CMAID-PIL-20KG","price":190.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 x 20kg Box (bulk)","offer_id":46170541818042,"sku":null,"price":540.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/8278\/1114\/files\/soapmaid_arriving_september_6a184ecc-863a-41cb-a17b-9a27eb1c3c1b.png?v=1784193257","url":"https:\/\/www.soapmaid.com\/products\/candlemaid-pillar-soy-wax","provider":"Soapmaid Australia Pty Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
