FD Wick (FW ‘SU’)

Wicks Unlimited waxed wick on a production reel

WEDO lists this series as FD. Wicks Unlimited supplies it as FW ‘SU’, and both names refer to the same wick. Constructed as a flat braided, coreless wick, FD has an effective self-trimming profile and burns consistently. Its structure allows for a slight but effective, curl during combustion. This coreless wick can be used in many different applications and with most paraffin wax formulations. The FD wick is often found in taper and pillar candles.

LX wick is a coreless flat braid with stabilizing threads. TL wick is a flat, coreless cotton wick for tealights and votives. Browse the full WEDO candle wicks line. An introduction to candle wick sizing covers how candle diameter and wax interact when you narrow a series. For help matching a wick to your system, contact Wicks Unlimited for preliminary wick optimization and combustion troubleshooting.

Features:

  • Constructed from natural fibers, creating an effective self-trimming profile.
  • Designed to be used in taper and pillars.
  • Engineered to minimize carbon buildup and soot.

Glossary of Terms

Yield

Measured in yards of wick per pound in weight. The higher the yield, the smaller the wick and the flame and the resulting heat generated.

ROC

The rate of wax consumption in ounces by the wick in one hour. The higher the burn rate the more wax which is being consumed. Used to determine how well a wick and wax combination is performing.
