Wick finishing is a complex procedure that can follow one of thwo routes, as circumstances demand.

1. Braid preparation

involves the impregnation of untreated wicking in a series of closely dove-tailed steps that ensure undeviating quality.

• The raw wicking is pre-treated in chemical-filled containers, i.e. high pressure evenly distributes chemical salts throughout the wicking.
• Following the pressure-assisted impregnation, the wicking is centrifuged. As a result, most of the liquid is expelled.
• Finally, the hot air in drying chambers ensures the evaporation of all remaining moisture from the skeins of wicking   
  

2. Yarn preparation

Alternatively, we offer our own recently developed, innovative solution. We call it “Yarn preparation” because it entails the treatment of the thread with chemical salts before braiding. This system ensures that the salts are uniformly distributed throughout the cotton, the upshot being an “intensively” treated finished product.

After the impregnation and drying process, the wicks are spooled. We can offer you all different spool sizes wich are normally used within the candle industry. The spooling is done very even and without tension in order not to influence the wick bending during burning.

By constantly monitoring and verifying these mechanical processes, we guarantee the highest standards in product quality.
