Description:
Accu-Blend Hybrid Coconut Container Blend is a coconut and paraffin blend that is specifically formulated for use in container candles. It was the excellent throw of paraffin wax and the slow burn of coconut. It is clean burning. The excellent glass adhesion of this wax makes it idea for clear and transparent containers. It has a very soft texture with a melt point of 120 degrees F, smooth and opaque appearance and max 10% fragrance load.
| Melting Point: | 122-127°F |
| Average Pouring Temperature: | 180° - 190°F |
| Curing: | Good results after 3 days, but even better results when it's cured for 1 week or more. Personally, I always cure for 2 weeks with all waxes. |
| Recommended Wicks: | In general coconut blended waxes use smaller wicks. We recommend CDN wicks. |
Please note: When shipping during warmer temperatures, the wax may soften or melt slightly. This will not affect the wax quality.

How to Use
- Prepare vessels first, or prepare while wax is heating up. ie wick vessels and secure with wick centering bars before pouring in hot wax.
- Cut wax into smaller chunks. Coco 83 wax is a soft enough wax where you can use a butter knife to score it and break it into smaller pieces.
- Heat to 200 - 210°F degrees, remove from the heat source, add fragrance oil and dye, blend for 15-30 seconds and pour immediately.
- For consistently smooth results, it is recommended to pour hot at 190 - 200°F.
- For thick glass and or cooler room temperatures below 65°F, pre-heating the glass is recommended. For example, you can either place jars in the oven on the lowest setting, or use a heat gun to preheat jars.
- For smoother top surfaces (ie granite), it is recommended to heat lamp the surface after candle has set up or place candle on a raised cooling rack.
- The maximum fragrance load is 8-12%, but higher fragrance loads should be tested per fragrance.
- We recommend allowing a 1 week cure time to maximize the cold and hot throw.
How do you calculate the amount of fragrance oil to use?
First, you need to know what percentage of fragrance oil you want to use. The average usage is 6%.
Here is a basic formula:
(oz of wax using) x (% of fragrance oil you want to use) = (oz of fragrance oil needed)
For example, let's say you are using two pounds of wax and want to use 6% fragrance oil.
First, you'll need to calculate the number of ounces of wax you have:
2 x 16 (number of oz in 1 pound) = 32oz
Plug these numbers into your formula:
32 x 6% = 1.92oz
You can round up to 2oz for easy measuring on your scale.
Below, I created an easy fragrance load calculator where it will calculate the amount of fragrance oil needed in both ounces and grams.
