Cotton wick Wedo RD series with foot
Cotton wick Wedo RD series with foot
Traditionally, the RD series is predominantly used in beeswax table candles, taper candles, household candles, church candles, and pillar candles. However, it is also frequently used in paraffin wax applications.
The series consists of round cotton wicks with additional tensioning threads. The incorporated tensioning threads cause a slight wick curvature and shortening during the burning phase.
RD wicks have a "head", meaning they are to be used in one direction, which also makes wax transport easier.
This series includes a wide selection of wick sizes to cover small to large candle diameters.
Our pre-waxed wicks are 120mm long and were produced in Germany by the "Westdeutsche Wickfabrik" in accordance with the requirements of the DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. They meet the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and are certified with the RAL GZ-041 quality mark of the "RAL Quality Association for Candles e.V." This guarantees their freedom from harmful substances.
The wick is 12cm long.

Caution: Round wicks were originally designed primarily for beeswax, but work wonderfully with other natural candle waxes. However, since beeswax naturally has a very high degree of hardness/melting point, the dimensions can vary considerably.
*The specified candle diameters are recommendations based on standard combustion results. Therefore, they should be considered a starting point for testing. Different combustion results/consumption rates may vary with different candle systems .
You can also use the candle wicks for "double wick candles" and "triple wick candles" to achieve a larger flame radius.
For optimal centering of the candle wicks, you will also find the perfect accessories with us: candle wick holders and adhesive dots for candle wicks .
