daniedb Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Okay, I *know* I've seen a post on this topic, but I did some searching, and didn't come up with anything...I know that many companies offer their own brand of 100% soy wax, and they are all called different things...but is there any difference between them? Isn't 100% soy is 100% soy is 100% soy? Or do they do different soybean oil/other additions ratios?I have been very happy with EZSoy, but I have always wondered why people who complain about frosting try different pure soys - is there really a difference?

Vicky_CO Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Well here go to Golden brand site and look at the different pure soyhttp://www.gfgb.com/candles/candle_products.htmNow look at the soy they have 3 pure soy waxes 402, 415, 416 but each one has a different melt point so it would stand to reason they would act slightly different.

topofmurrayhill Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 It's like 100% coffee. Not a great analogy but good enough. Different raw materials and processing results in different products. When you hydrogenate the oil there are a number of variables you can tweak and things you can blend to make it come out various ways. Another way of thinking about 100% soy is that Crisco vegetable oil, Crisco vegetable shortening, and pure soy wax all qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
