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.
The scope of application of the textile technical braids is nearly unlimited. Technical braids can be produced in a flat or round shape. Braided into a seamless tube, the round braid can be used for a vast range of purposes:
Do you need a technical braid for a specific purpose? Our development team will be happy to work with you and create a custom solution to meet your individual requirements.

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
