AAK LAUNCHES GOLDEN WAX® 419 TO HELP CONTAINER CANDLES SHINE BRIGHT

New 100% Plant-based Container Wax Solution Helps Candle Manufacturers Meet On-Trend Label Claims with Improved Aesthetics and Performance

(October 3, 2023) Edison, NJ – AAK, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of value-adding specialty vegetable fats and oils, recently highlighted its latest candle wax innovation. Golden Wax® 419 helps candle manufacturers, wax blenders and candle supply companies with an easy-to-use plant-based wax solution that elevates container candle aesthetics and meets on-trend label claims.

“We are excited to launch Golden Wax® 419 as our newest premium soy wax for container candles,” said Ryan Branch, Sr. Marketing Manager, AAK USA. “The convenient flake form makes it quick and easy for manufacturers to scoop, pour and melt. As it is sourced from locally grown soy and does not need to be blended with any additional waxes like paraffin, Golden Wax® 419 meets the label requirements that today’s consumers demand. This new wax solution creates a smooth and glossy surface with great glass adhesion, offers bloom/frost reduction and leaves less residue on the container after burning. Beyond enhancing the appearance of the candle, it also provides consistent fragrance-holding qualities. Now, with Golden Wax® 419, candle makers can develop new premium candle products while also contributing to a greener and more sustainable world.”

Golden Wax® 419 offers numerous benefits to improve the candle manufacturing process and the appearance of the final product. It meets a long list of environmental advantages that perfectly answer today’s consumer demands including:

  • Non-toxic
  • Clean burning
  • Completely free of animal-derived substances
  • Not tested on animals
  • Sustainably sourced

“AAK has WaxWorks Labs around the world, where our dedicated candle technicians efficiently apply our wax knowledge and expertise, including a precision hydrogenation process and complex blending capabilities, to create specialized formulations to meet any operational, functional or marketing requirements,” said Branch.

Today’s consumers are not satisfied with exquisite design and functionality alone—they also want candles to be sustainably produced. Sustainability is at the heart of AAK’s purpose of Making Better Happen™. AAK offers plant-based waxes that allow customers to produce candles that are visually appealing, safe and sustainable.
