Our X–Trim Candlewick Offers Consistency You Can Count On

The X–Trim line of wick was developed for use in pillars. It also can improve the performance of scented container candles. Our balanced construction is designed to produce a gentle curl that is Self–Trimming and will not over curl. The X–Trim wick provides a straight wick posture and curls high on the wick’s stalk. This raises the flame and helps maintain a centered pool. Fil–Tec’s scientifically engineered chemical treatment reduces afterglow, enhances the Self–Trimming and helps control the curl. The wick’s open construction allows for better capillary flow when using heavily scented paraffin, vegetable based and beeswax wax blends. Our Patented construction also delivers a consistent rate of consumption. Fil–Tec X–Trim wick offers a higher yield than conventional braided wick, which means lower material costs and longer production runs.

Our product description is very “user–friendly”. The description represents the pool diameter in a 140°F melt point straight cut paraffin wax. This method allows the user to easily compare wick size and performance. This chart provides the candle maker a starting point for wick selection. Your wick selection will depend on wax blend, color and scent additives.
