UV Color Stabilizer Info
& Instructions:
The energy from light and heat affects and destroys the chromo-phores of color
molecules. Light and heat also cause free radicals to form in the wax blend.
Organic solvents and particularly the additives used in fragrances augment the
destructive effect of light and heat. This unique system of stabilizing agents
increases the stability of the candle components by absorbing light energy as
well as by inhibiting the formation of free radicals.
Storage & Use:
Store
powder in tightly sealed container, in a cool dry place. Mix powder directly
into wax, do not heat powder on it's own as excessive heat may lessen it's
effectiveness.
Use from .15% up to .25%
depending on the dye, wax and fragrance being used.
Each 2 oz jar will do approx. 50 to 80 lbs of wax.
