Candle industry facts
Market Channels, Production Variables and Safety - With Dated Stats
A practical overview of the candle market, product formats, materials, production variables, selling channels and safety considerations. Market statistics are identified by source and date so older figures are not mistaken for current data.
Manufacturer checklist
What Production Buyers Should Evaluate
Retail Channels
Specialty, department, mass and online.
Production Variables
Format, wax, wick, fragrance and throughput.
Safety References
Labeling and burn considerations manufacturers track.
Viscosity at operating temperature
What Viscosity Means on This Page
Facts pages set context; pour viscosity and melt capacity still decide which PRIMO and filler you buy.
What It Is
How thick the batch is at the temperature you actually melt, hold, transfer or fill, not room temperature on the bench.
Why Heat Matters
Heat lowers viscosity so product moves through a heated pump, hose and fill head without setting in the line.
What We Size
Tank family, pump, heated hose and head around viscosity at operating temperature, plus elevation and hose length.
Fill Condition: keep temperature and viscosity at the dispense pointHigh-viscosity pump options on EZ-1, AutoShot, Quattro and Octo
