Wicks Unlimited’s in-house production offers the option of non-puncturing crimping. Manufacturers using our wicks sustainers can also produce or create non-puncturing crimping based on their production capabilities. Sustainers with non-puncture crimping extinguish the flame when it reaches the top of the neck and leaves unconsumed wax at the candle’s end of life for safety purposes. Candle manufacturers depend on non-puncture candle sustainers to prevent overheating, reduce heat transfer to adjacent surfaces, and avoid wick migration since the flame is extinguished once it reaches the top of the sustainer’s neck. Wicks Unlimited’s candle sustainers, including non-puncture sustainers, are manufactured from the highest quality tin-coated steel. The thick tin coating inhibits corrosion often caused by the fragrance, dyes, and essential oils common in candles sold worldwide. Discover why candle manufacturers worldwide rely on Wicks Unlimited’s diverse collection of wick products to meet their production requirements.
sustainers with puncture crimp and self-centering sustainers are the other assembly options available. Our guide to non-puncture versus puncture crimping covers when each is appropriate. See all metal wick sustainers for base sizes and neck lengths.
