UV Stabilizer for Candles - CS 7000
CS 7000 is a powerful blend of antioxidants and UV stabilizers developed for the demands of professional candle makers. It protects your candles and raw materials from heat during production and from store and UV light during storage and use. The stabilizer shields dyes, fragrances and waxes, preserving appearance and fragrance experience all the way to the consumer’s home.
Key benefits
- Protects dyes, fragrances and base waxes
- Shields against store lighting and UV light
- Delays thermo-oxidation
- Fine powder, dissolves quickly and evenly
- High UV-A absorption
- Neutral fragrance, suitable for scented candles
- Ideal for colored and uncolored candles
How does CS 7000 work?
Heat and UV light can accelerate oxidation, degrade fragrances and fade colors. CS 7000 combines antioxidants with UV filters that help reduce free radicals and light-induced degradation. Thus, color and fragrance remain more stable, and the candle looks fresh longer.
Application & dosage
- Dosage: between 0.1% and 0.4% of total wash weight
- Sequence: first dissolve CS 7000 in fully melted wax, then add color and fragrance
- Temperature: dissolve at 50 °C to 100 °C in your wash blend
- Do not combine with optical brighteners such as Bekro 301
