PE22 Wax Hardener

PE22 is a polymer hardener commonly used when creating the outer shells of hurricane candles. It can also be added to candle wax to increase burn time or to harden wax to meet a “bite test.”

Key Characteristics

• Format: Granules
• Melting Point: PE22 has a very high melt point and must be heated to approximately 95°C to liquefy.
• Pouring Temperature: Dependent on the wax you are using with PE22.

How to Use PE22

As a Hardener:

• Mix at 4–6%.
• For best results, melt the PE22 separately due to its high melt point.

To Increase Burn Time:

• Use at a ratio of 1g PE22 per 150g wax.
• Add a small amount of your candle wax to the melted PE22 to increase volume and make blending easier.

Tips & Troubleshooting

• Always re-test your candle wick when introducing any additive to your wax.
