storage and blending wax
The Star Facility is unique in the candle industry for using electricity to control the temperature of all waxes. Most other facilities utilize steam to heat and maintain their waxes. Electricity allows a much tighter control of wax temperature due to computer controls monitoring the temperature of the wax and providing small pulses of heat to maintain desired temperatures. Waxes do not get exposed to high temperatures that may cause the material to oxidize or discolor.
fragrance selections
All Fragrances selected by Sales and Marketing are reviewed by the Vendors in house Quality Control Lab for stability and compatibility to the selected wax base. This step insures that the specified fragrances will not bleed and remove themselves from the candle over time.
testing production lines
A sample from each production run undergoes burn testing the following day. Candles are burned for eight hours at a time until fully consumed. Quality Control personnel observe glass temperatures, afterglow, aftersmoke, soot grade, burn time and secondary ignition when called for.
