This product has been discontinued due to low sales. For a paraffin container wax, we recommend trying IGI 4630.

Paraffin Container Wax (MP-117) is a high-performance, single-pour container paraffin wax that results in creamy, semi-gloss candles. Previously reserved for large manufacturing companies, we’re excited to bring this unique, fully refined paraffin wax to the handcrafted market. Featuring strong scent throw and minimal shrinkage, MP-117 works beautifully on its own without additives or blended with other waxes.

Candle Maker's Notes:
Paraffin waxes tend to have darker soot over soy when burning. If you're experiencing excessive soot, we recommend testing different wick sizes, or double wicking in larger containers (3.3"/8.4 cm diameter or larger). Additionally, too much fragrance oil can also cause sooting depending on the fragrance oil. We’ve found that reducing fragrance load to 6% is plenty strong for most fragrances and helps to minimize sooting.

Best Wax!

Please do not get rid of this wax. I finally tried paraffin and blends this year after using only soy for years. And wow was I blown away by this wax. So easy to use. And the hot throw is the best I have ever achieved.

Best hot throw!

First time trying this wax. And wow was this easy to use and had the strongest hot throw I have ever smelled. I only used a 6% load but that was enough. I'm not happy this is being discontinued. Please keep it if you can. I have tried many waxes over the years and this is by far the strongest throw I have ever achieved.

We use this wax in a custom blend and it has worked perfectly. Consistent every time, enhances CT/HT just the right amount, and the burn is excellent with high performance cotton wicks. So disappointed to see it is being discontinued. I've tried the other paraffin options for blending and none have performed as well. Frustration doesn't begin to describe what we're feeling after months of testing to create a custom blend that finally performed up to expectations that our customers have come to know and love.
