Wick

wick

Wick is a thin strip of material that draws liquid fuel (such as wax or oil) to a flame through capillary action. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a steady burn in candles, lamps, and other combustion-based devices.

Wicks are typically made from cotton, wood, hemp, or synthetic fibers, depending on their intended use. They come in various shapes and sizes, influencing the burn rate, flame stability, and overall efficiency of the fuel source.

Features

• Capillary Action – Draws fuel upward to sustain combustion.

• Material Variety – Available in cotton, wood, hemp, and synthetic fibers.

• Burn Efficiency – Designed to regulate flame size and burn rate.

• Self-Trimming Options – Some wicks curl as they burn, reducing soot production.

• Eco-Friendly Choices – Hemp and wooden wicks offer sustainable alternatives.

Uses

• Candles – Provides a controlled flame for illumination and ambiance.

• Oil Lamps – Transfers liquid fuel to the flame for continuous burning.

• Scientific Applications – Used in laboratory burners and controlled combustion experiments.

• Decorative & Aromatherapy Candles – Enhances scent throw and aesthetic appeal.
