There are two types of waxes you can use to make candles:
1. “Container” wax: Making your candles in containers, jars, cans, etc.
2. "Pillar" wax: The production of your free-standing candles, which are poured using a mold and then removed from the mold.
The differences between the waxes are often only minimal. But the “container version” sticks better to the walls of the containers. The pillar variants contract more and do not stick to the shapes so strongly, making them easier to remove. The pillar waxes are also slightly harder waxes.
For all types of wax there are container and pillar versions:
Examples:
Kerax Soja 4120 is a pillar wax
Kerax Soja 4130 is a container wax
Tromm Raps 9522 is a pillar wax
Tromm Raps 9512 is a container wax

We hope you enjoy making your candles!
