What Is AAK GoldenWax 464 EU?

Originally a brand under Golden Foods/Golden Brands (Louisville, Kentucky), today GoldenWax 464 is a well-known natural soy wax by AAK, a Swedish-Danish global leader in plant-based waxes.

The traditional GW 464 (also available for online purchase here) has historically been produced in the U.S. using American soybeans, and while extremely popular in Europe, there was demand for a more local product.

GW 464 EU is the European equivalent, engineered specifically for European candle makers with the same care, quality, and performance that made the original formula an industry staple. GW 464 EU leverages European crops, manufacturing and logistics.

• Versatile & User-Friendly: With a forgiving pouring temperature range, it adapts well to various techniques and skill levels. Unlike the U.S. version (which comes in flakes and 22.68 kg / 50 lb boxes), the European version is supplied in easy-to-measure pellets and 16 kg boxes.
