All about wicks
Let us forget our age of high technology for a second and have a purely scientific look at the mechanics of a candle flame. When we light the wick of a candle, the heat of the flame melts the wax.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Please note our minimum order quantities:
20kgs | per single wick item for spooled products (this is equivalent to approx. 20 Kilometers in length) |
10.000 | pieces per wick and length for prewaxed assemblies |
Please note that as a wick factory we can only answer questions from candle manufacturers operating on a commercial/industrial scale a presented above. If you use smaller quantities, please contact the appropriate retailers, online shops etc.

Let us forget our age of high technology for a second and have a purely scientific look at the mechanics of a candle flame. When we light the wick of a candle, the heat of the flame melts the wax.
Ideal wick position: The wick protrudes from the candle in a straight line and bends towards the flame boundary, entering the “glow zone”, where it burns fully at the highest temperature under the influence of oxygen.
The flame of a candle is separated into different glowing and temperature areas, which are easily visible to the naked eye: (1) Candle (2) Wick (3) Blue zone: Usually outside of the luminous zone Hottest zone due to oxygen contact
