Cotton wick core and wood wick core are two common candle core materials, and they have some differences in candle burning. The following are the main differences between them:
Material: Cotton wax cores are usually made of cotton thread or yarn containing cotton, while wooden wax cores are made of wood chips or sticks.
Burning speed: Cotton wax wick has a relatively fast burning speed and a longer candle head, which can provide a larger burning area and brightness. Wooden wax wick has a slower burning speed and a shorter candle head, which is usually suitable for candles that require small flames or long-term burning.
Burning color and cleanliness: Cotton wax wicks typically produce a brighter flame during combustion, but may produce some black smoke and pollutants. When wood wax cores burn, the flame is relatively small and usually does not produce black smoke, so the cleanliness during the combustion process is better.
Adjusting combustion: Due to the slower burning speed of wooden wax cores, it can better control the burning time of candles. If you want to extend the burning time of the candle, you can choose wooden wax wick.
