We carry all 18 sizes of Ultra Core Wicks!
Rigid, all-fiber wicks with a knitted construction. These wicks offer the same stability of zinc-core wicks – without the wire core. Made in the USA.
- Designed to stay straight in your wax as you pour.
- High melt point natural wax coating.
- Great for single-wick and multi-wick candles.
- Performs well in all wax types – including coconut, soy, beeswax, paraffin and other blends.
- Capable of handling heavy fragrance loads and difficult waxes.
- Suitable for container candles and votives.
- Wicks produce shorter, hotter flames and create little to no soot.
The patented open construction of Ultra Core Wicks provides optimal capillary flow. This results in better melt pools with a stronger fragrance throw and less tunneling. Read our tips for getting started with Ultra Core wicks.
Length: 6″
Tab size: 20mm round base with a 6mm neck that helps stabilize the wick.
Lead and zinc free.
Suggested Container Size (Container Diameter)
The sizing system for Ultra Core Wicks is based on the size of the melt pool when burned in paraffin wax. The wick numbers below represent the diameter of the 140 degree melt pool of paraffin wax after burning for two hours.
