Vybar 260 candle additive: lower melt point Vybar used in container candles and votive candles to lock color and scent in wax. Use 1 teaspoon per pound of wax as a hardener, and make candles opaque. Vybar 260 enhances fragrances & color quality, increases hardness and surface gloss, and also helps reduce air bubbles and mottling. Vybar 260 candle additive provides a number of benefits to your candle but its defining purpose is fragrance retention. Vybar allows you to obtain high fragrance loads without migration (eliminate mottling). It also is beneficial in achieving a more consistent product; it helps with uniform dye dispersion and a reduction in surface flaws. This will allow you to cut down the number of rejects, which in return can save you time and money. Usage is .5 to 2% by weight; the amount of fragrance oil can change the recommended usage. Vybar enables the candlemaker to put twice or even three times as much fragrance oil into their mixture, causing the candles to have much better hot throw. Vybar 260 is used for softer, lower melt point waxes such as container waxes. Recommended usage is 1 teaspoon per pound of wax but will vary per application. Don't overdo it, though, because too much vybar can actually trap the fragrance in your candle, reducing your candle's hot throw.
