Low- Density Transparent Gel Wax for Candle Making

LP Low Density Gel Wax is a premixed transparent candle gel made for decorative container candles. Its clear appearance allows candle makers to experiment with layered colors, decorative wax chunks, and gel candle designs.

Unlike traditional soy or paraffin candle wax, this material has a flexible, jelly-like consistency and provides a transparent finish.

The gel is supplied in loose chunks for convenient handling and melting. Its low-density formulation is best suited for container applications rather than large freestanding candles.

• Premixed low-density candle gel
• Clear, transparent appearance
• Soft and flexible consistency
• Supplied in loose gel chunks
• Suitable for decorative container candles
• Supports selected paraffin wax and gel wax embeds
• Recommended fragrance load of 1–3%
• Suitable for colored and layered gel candle designs
• Minimal shrinkage according to supplier guidance

Supplier Melt Point: 200°F (93°C).

Recommended Pouring Range: 215–225°F (102–107°C) for maximum translucency.

Pouring Over Embeds: Approximately 200°F (93°C), according to supplier guidance.

1. Prepare a clean, dry, heat-resistant candle container.
2. Cut the gel into smaller pieces if needed.
3. Heat gradually using temperature-controlled equipment. Do not heat over a direct flame.
4. Continue heating until the gel becomes fully fluid, following the recommended processing temperatures.
5. Add gel-compatible candle dye if desired.
6. Add only verified gel-compatible fragrance oil within the recommended 1–3% range.
7. Stir gently and thoroughly to avoid excessive air bubbles.
8. For maximum translucency, the supplier recommends pouring at 215–225°F.
9. For suitable decorative wax embeds, the supplier lists approximately 200°F as a pouring reference.
10. Allow the finished candle to cool completely before handling or burn testing.

This LP Gel Wax has a supplier-recommended fragrance load of 1–3% by weight.

Fragrance oils must be specifically suitable for gel candles. The supplier specifies a fragrance oil flash point of at least 170°F (77°C).

• Use only confirmed gel-compatible fragrance oils.
• Verify non-polar compatibility for the specific gel formulation.
• Keep total fragrance within the 1–3% supplier range.
• Check for cloudiness, separation, or changes in clarity.
• Test wick and burn performance after adding fragrance.

Transparent gel allows decorative wax pieces to remain visible inside a candle container.

• Paraffin Wax Embeds: Suitable wax chunks can be tested for embedded designs.
• Gel Wax Objects: Compatible decorative gel pieces may be incorporated into layered projects.
• Layered Designs: Different gel colors can be poured in stages for decorative effects.
• Heavy Embeds: LP gel may not support large or heavy decorations as effectively as higher-density gel.
• Freestanding Candles: Not recommended for large unsupported molded candles.

Gel candle clarity depends on processing temperature, fragrance compatibility, dye selection, and handling.

• Use only gel-compatible candle dyes.
• Start with a small amount of dye to maintain transparency.
• Stir slowly to reduce trapped air bubbles.
• Avoid water and moisture contamination.
• Allow bubbles to rise before pouring where practical.
• Pour within the supplier's recommended temperature range.
• Test colored gel after complete cooling.

• LP – Low Density: Softer, less viscous gel suited to container candles and lighter decorative applications. This listing is for LP.
• MP – Medium Density: More viscous gel for applications requiring increased suspension capability.
• HP – High Density: Firmer, more viscous gel intended for applications requiring greater suspension capability and different fragrance requirements.

• Excessive bubbles: Reduce stirring speed and allow trapped air to escape.
• Cloudy gel: Check dye, fragrance compatibility, moisture, and temperature.
• Floating or sinking embeds: Consider embed weight, size, position, and gel density.
• Layers mixing: Allow the previous layer to stabilize before the next pour.
• Embed distortion: Reduce heat exposure and verify the embed's thermal compatibility.
• Poor flame performance: Reevaluate wick, fragrance load, dye, and container design.

Store gel wax in a clean, cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and contamination.

Softening or temporary changes in shape may occur during hot-weather transportation. Allow the product to stabilize at room temperature before use.

The material is supplied in loose gel chunks. Package quantity is determined by the size selected when ordering.

What does LP mean?
LP stands for Low Density. This grade has a softer, less viscous consistency than higher-density gel candle wax.

What is the melt point?
The supplier lists a melt point of 200°F (93°C).

What is the recommended pouring temperature?
The supplier recommends 215–225°F for maximum translucency.

What temperature should I use when pouring over embeds?
The supplier lists approximately 200°F as a reference. Always verify that the chosen embed can safely tolerate the temperature.

How much fragrance oil can I add?
The supplier recommends 1–3% by weight using compatible fragrance oil.

Can I use any fragrance oil?
No. Use only gel-compatible fragrance oils. The supplier requires a flash point of 170°F or higher, but flash point alone does not confirm compatibility.

Can I add candle dye?
Yes. Use only dye confirmed suitable for gel candle wax.

Can I add paraffin wax embeds?
Yes, selected compatible paraffin wax embeds can be tested in decorative gel candle designs.

Can I use this for freestanding molded candles?
LP gel is relatively soft and is primarily recommended for container candles. Large unsupported molded candles are not recommended.

Is this gel wax beginner-friendly?
The supplier describes it as beginner-friendly, but temperature control, fragrance compatibility, wick selection, and burn testing are still necessary.

Why is my gel cloudy?
Incompatible fragrance oil, dyes, moisture, and handling conditions may reduce transparency.

Does gel wax shrink?
The supplier describes this product as having minimal shrinkage. Final results depend on the container, pouring temperature, and cooling conditions.

What form does the gel arrive in?
Loose gel chunks rather than traditional wax flakes, beads, or pellets.
