Soy Candle Fragrance Oils Delivered to Raipur

The soy waxes and what their pages state

CSI lists eight soy and coconut-soy waxes; four are the ones a container maker in Raipur will realistically choose between, and only three of those publish a fragrance ceiling. The table sets out what each page states — not what soy wax generally does, but what these specific pages commit to — plus the wax cost inside a 200 g candle so the fragrance decision has something to sit against.

Two things follow. First, the cheapest kilo of wax in the list publishes no ceiling, so an oil's stated 13% does not become pourable simply because you bought Eco Soy CSI 400 — with no stated ceiling, 8% and a burn test is the sensible place to start and the number belongs on your own batch card, not on ours. Second, coconut-soy CSI 468 changes the whole rhythm of a pour: a 58–60°C pour temperature is twenty degrees below the soy pages, which means a different thermometer discipline and a different set-up time. The wax temperature guidance behind all of this is unpacked in best temperature for adding fragrance oil to soy wax.

Eighteen measured flash points, and the three that matter

Flash point is the lowest temperature at which the vapour above a liquid can ignite in the presence of an ignition source. For a candle maker it is not a quality mark and it is not a throw predictor: it is a handling number, relevant at the moment you add oil to hot wax and when you store or ship it. Of 107 CSI fragrance pages, eighteen publish a specific measured value. Another large group carries a shared threshold line — "flash point > 93°C (suitable for alcohol-based products)" — which is a threshold, not a measurement, and should never be written into your own paperwork as a number. Fifty-six pages say nothing about flash point at all, and one, Zesty Lemon, states that the figure is available on request or in the SDS.

The lower of two ceilings, as a grid

Here is the rule in table form. Down the side, five oils with a stated candle ceiling. Across the top, the three CSI container waxes that state one. Each cell is the load you may actually pour — the lower of the two — and the total wax-plus-oil cost of a 200 g candle at that load. Nothing in this grid is a performance prediction; it is arithmetic on two published numbers.

Look at the bottom row. The same oil in two waxes, both permitted by both pages, and a ₹40.22 difference per candle — because in the Chunks you may pour 13% and in CSI 464 you may not. That is the clearest illustration of why the rule exists: the oil did not change, the ceiling did. And note what happens inside the candle when the load climbs: at 13% the oil rises to 26 g and the wax falls to 174 g, so part of the extra fragrance cost is paid back by needing less wax.

Four oils that publish a soy load

Four listings whose pages state a candle load, across four families, with every rung and the per-100 g rate. Each card gives the operative load in CSI 464 and what the fragrance line costs in a 200 g candle there.

The soy pour, in order

Five steps, with both numbers from both pages on the card before you switch anything on. This is written for a 5 kg batch of CSI 464 at ₹2,537 and Woody Oud at the operative 10%, which yields about 27 candles of 200 g.

Soy in a hot Raipur workroom

Soy is a low-melting wax and Chhattisgarh is warm for most of the year, so the room is a variable in every batch you pour here. What follows is general material behaviour you can verify on your own bench rather than a claim about the city's weather: we do not publish temperature or humidity figures for Raipur, and any planning number below is marked as an assumption.

Two planning assumptions worth writing on your own sheet, clearly labelled as yours: allow 3–5% wax loss for spills and top-ups when you convert candles into kilos, and treat 14–21 days as the cure you actually schedule for soy containers even when a page asks for 48–72 hours as a minimum. Both are planning allowances, not specifications, and both are the difference between a festive order that ships and one that ships late. For storage, remember that no CSI fragrance page states a shelf life or storage condition — so keep bottles closed, shaded and off warm surfaces, and judge by smell, not by a date somebody invented.

Ordering oil and wax together

Because the load is a percentage, the two halves of a soy order are locked to each other: 5 kg of wax at an operative 10% needs about 555 g of oil to become 5.55 kg of finished candle. Buying them in the same order is not just convenience — it stops the classic mismatch where a 5 kg bag of wax sits waiting because the oil came in a 100 g bottle. The conversion to remember is simple: at a load of L per cent of the finished candle, one kilogram of wax needs L ÷ (100 − L) kilograms of oil — 87 g at 8%, 111 g at 10%, 149 g at 13%.

On quantities: soy wax is listed up to 10 kg on most container waxes and 50 kg on Natural Soy Pearl Wax, while 1 kg is the largest fragrance pack listed on any oil. So a business ordering 20 kg of wax will be ordering two or three kilo bottles of oil beside it, at the listed rate, and anything recurring or larger is a WhatsApp quote. There is no CSI counter, stockist or warehouse in Raipur to collect from; orders ship nationwide, and that is the whole of what we can honestly say about delivery.
