Ultra Core Candlewick
The Rigidity Of Zinc...
Without The Metal Wire

Fil–Tec is proud to announce the development of our NEW Ultra Core Candlewick. This product line will finally grant candle makers their independence from using metal core wicks.

Fil–Tec’s Ultra Core is designed with a special filament core to give the candle maker the rigidity they need during the wax pour. Since the core of this advanced wick consists of fibers, not metal, it does not leave behind the unsightly metal core protruding from the flame as it burns. This allows the wick to self–regulate and minimizes carbon mushrooming.

This wick is an excellent choice for containers, pillars and votives. Our Ultra Core candlewick is available on 95% break–free spools or waxed and tabbed to your manufacturing requirements.

Ultra Core Wick Offers Superior Rigidity
These Pour Tests Prove It


To illustrate the rigidity of the Ultra Core Wick our Test Lab set up and videotaped a series of container candle pour tests. In the test we used a 4” diameter container and waxed the wicks with a 210°F wick wax. The wicks are all similar in size. The candle wax was poured at 150°F.



To see the Pour Test results click on each wick style to the right and enjoy the show.


Ultra Core Wicks

Our candlewick 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.
