Zinc Core Candlewick

For those manufacturers that still use a zinc core we offer a full line of sizes with our patented unique construction that will work well in all wax blends. We have it in various sizes, please refer to the burn rate chart below. With our zinc core you’ll enjoy a consistent burning wick with a money–saving yield advantage. Our Zinc Core candlewick is available on 95% break–free spools or waxed and tabbed to your manufacturing requirements. If you have been looking for a zinc alternative check out our new Ultra Core, it is a true zinc core replacement.

Our product description is very “user–friendly.” The description represents the pool diameter in a 140 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.
