BB-T30 Soy Wax Melt Tart Wax

BB-T30 Soy Wax Melt & Tart Wax is made for wickless home-fragrance products such as wax melts, tarts, clamshell melts, snap bars, and molded fragrance pieces. It has a hard white soy texture that helps melts hold their shape and release from molds more easily than soft container waxes.

This wax is designed for high-fragrance wax melt formulas, not regular jar candles or wicked candles. Final results depend on your fragrance oil, dye, mold type, pour temperature, cooling conditions, and cure time.

• Hard soy wax for melts and tarts
• Good choice for clamshells, snap bars, and small molds
• High fragrance load potential for wax melts
• Firm texture for better shape holding
• Good mold release for simple molds
• Can also be tested for whipped wax or decorative wax details

1. Break or cut the slab wax into smaller pieces.
2. Melt wax until fully liquid while monitoring temperature.
3. Add dye if desired and stir until fully blended.
4. Add fragrance oil at your tested fragrance-add temperature.
5. Stir slowly and evenly until fully blended.
6. Pour into clamshells, tart molds, snap bar molds, or silicone molds.
7. Allow melts to cool completely before removing or packaging.
8. Let melts cure before final scent testing.

BB-T30 can hold a high fragrance load for wax melts, commonly tested in the 8–18% range. Start lower first. Very high fragrance loads are expensive and can create soft texture, sweating, poor mold release, or packaging issues if the fragrance oil is not compatible.

For decorative freestanding pieces, whipped wax, candle toppers, or molded wax decor, keep fragrance load lower. Around 8% or less is a safer starting point for pieces that need more structure.

High-fragrance wax melts are sensitive to fragrance oil type, fragrance load, dye amount, mold type, temperature, and cure time. Test in small batches before production.

• Soft melts: Lower fragrance load or allow longer cure time before packaging.
• Sweating: Reduce fragrance load or test a different fragrance oil.
• Poor mold release: Let melts cool fully and test a lower pour temperature.
• Cracking: Avoid cold molds, cold rooms, and rapid cooling.
• Weak scent throw: Test fragrance load, cure time, and warmer type.
• Dull color: Test dye amount and make sure dye is fully dissolved before pouring.

Store wax in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, moisture, and strong odors.

BB-T30 comes in hard slab form. During hot-weather shipping, slab wax may soften slightly or show surface marks. This usually does not affect usability. Let the wax return to room temperature before cutting, weighing, or melting.

Is BB-T30 beginner-friendly?
Yes for wax melts, but high fragrance loads require testing. Start with a moderate fragrance load before pushing higher.

What is BB-T30 best used for?
It is best used for wax melts, tarts, clamshell melts, snap bars, and molded wickless fragrance pieces.

Can I use BB-T30 for jar candles?
No. BB-T30 is not designed for wicked candles. For jar candles, use a container wax such as GB 464, GB 444, GB 454, C-3, IGI 6006, BB-S10, or BB-C83.

Can I use BB-T30 for pillar candles?
It is not the best choice for standard pillar candles. For pillars or freestanding candles, use a pillar wax such as BB-C35 or BB-P55.

How is BB-T30 different from GW 494?
BB-T30 is positioned as a harder, high-fragrance soy tart wax with up to 18% fragrance load potential for melts. GW 494 is also a soy tart wax, but it is usually positioned around a more standard 5–10% fragrance load range.

Can I really use 18% fragrance oil?
You can test up to that level for wax melts, but it is not always necessary. Too much fragrance oil can waste money, soften the wax, cause sweating, or reduce clean mold release.

Can I use this wax for whipped wax decorations?
Yes, it can be tested for whipped wax or dessert-style wax decor. Keep fragrance load lower for decorative pieces that need structure.

Why are my melts sweating?
Sweating is usually caused by too much fragrance oil, incompatible fragrance oil, warm storage, or not enough cure time. Lower the fragrance load and retest.

How long should wax melts cure?
Let melts cure for at least 3 days before judging scent throw. Some fragrance oils may perform better after a longer cure.
