HPSP 493 Wick

Special High-Performance Flat Wicks (HPSP aka HSPS) are slow-burning and are excellent for coconut wax. They are often used in pillars, tapers, decorative, votives, and tealight candles because they minimize soot. HPSP wicks are constructed from long-strand, tight-braid and specially-treated cotton which inhibit carbon deposit and afterglow.  ~ Best wicks for coconut wax ~ Lead and zinc free ~ Natural cotton construction ~ Coated with clean-burning paraffin wax *Using the sizing chart below, choose a wick 2-3 sizes larger than the chart denotes when using coconut wax.

Other wax ingredients can also increase or decrease the flame. We recommend a Wick Testing Pack to find the perfect fit.
