Best Wax for Silicone Mould Candles
शेयर करना
Can I use container soy? It is usually too soft to release cleanly.
Best for bright colours? Paraffin.
Does CSI sell moulds? Yes — 62 products.
Silicone moulds forgive a lot, but fine detail needs a wax that sets firm and releases without tearing. This page matches waxes to silicone mould work.

Tearing, pitting and ghost lines: silicone mould faults and their fixes
Silicone flexes, so it releases shapes a rigid mould never could. It also shows every fault in fine detail: petals, faces, lettering, bubble textures. Most silicone problems come from timing and technique rather than the wax itself. Here are the ones that come up most, with the fix for each.
Wicking a silicone mould
Pierce the wick hole in the base of the mould with a needle, thread the wick through, and hold it centred at the top. Most silicone moulds shape the top of the candle at the bottom of the mould, so the wick hole sits in the design. Check the wick sits dead centre before you pour; you cannot move it afterwards.
A detail test worth doing
Pour the finest-detail mould you own twice: once in plain Soy Pillar Wax and once with 3% microcrystalline, which is 30 g per kilogram of wax. Photograph both close up. If the plain soy holds every edge, skip the additive. If only the micro version does, you have your recipe, and a 500 g slab at ₹149.00 covers more than 16 kg of wax at that rate.

CANDLEMAKINGSUPPLIESINDIA supplies raw materials, not finished candles. We publish every pack price, so every per-kilogram and per-candle figure here can be checked against the product pages — including the ones that show a bigger bag is not cheaper.
Prices are taken from live CSI stock in September 2026. Where a product page does not publish a specification, this guide says so rather than filling the gap.

Assumptions: Fragrance load 8% of total candle weight, so wax is 92% of the fill (a 200 g candle = 184 g wax + 16 g oil). Order plans add a 5% wastage allowance (10% where stated for festive buffers). "Cheapest listed packs" is the lowest-cost combination of listed pack sizes, preferring fewer bags when prices tie within a few rupees. Candle counts are rounded down. Costs are core materials only and exclude jar, label, packaging, labour, freight and GST unless stated. Wax stated fragrance maximums are the wax maker's formulation limits, not regulatory limits. Pack sizes not listed on the store (2, 20, 25, 100 kg) are shown as combinations of listed packs; larger quantities are quoted on WhatsApp. Diwali 2026 falls on 8 November.
