RATIO NUMBER

g/ml AT 20 °C

Beeswax in pellets, with no paraffin blended in, in a 500 g bag and with its analytical constants declared.

The pellet format is the whole difference: it melts gently and evenly, with no block to chop up and no forcing the bain-marie. For candles, artisan cosmetics and workshop use.

01 · THE NUMBERS ON THE SHEET

The ratio number is the wax's fingerprint

The values below are not decoration: they are the pharmacopoeia parameters by which a beeswax is characterised. The most telling is the ratio number, 3.3-4.3 — the relation between the ester value and the acid value. A wax adulterated with paraffin or stearin falls outside that range, which is why that figure is the first thing anyone buying wax to work with looks at. That the sheet declares it is, in itself, information.

02 · HOW IT BEHAVES

Soft at 32 °C, liquid past 61

At room temperature it is solid; around 32 °C it turns soft and malleable, and it melts completely between 61 and 65 °C. It is soluble in oils and insoluble in water, which is what makes it the base of balms and ointments: it sits well with the fatty phase and does not separate. Melt it gently; overheating costs it colour and aroma and gains nothing.

03 · WHAT IT IS USED FOR

Candles first, and a good deal more

It is aimed above all at candles: its hydrocarbon content, up to 18 %, is somewhat higher than that of wax destined for foundation, and that suits a candle. It also serves for soaps, lip balms, balms and creams; for protecting wood and sealing scratches; for sealing plant grafts; for waterproofing leather and footwear; and as the base for beeswax wraps.

04 · BEFORE YOU BUY

It is not wax for making foundation: there is apicultural wax for that, with a different composition. And the colour is the wax's own, yellow to orange depending on the batch: if your work needs a uniform tone across batches, reckon with that variation.

✓ FITSCandles, artisan cosmetics, protecting wood and leather, and workshop jobs that call for melting small amounts.
✕ DOESN'T FITMaking hive foundation, and work demanding identical colour between batches.
