Batik Wax- (1 lb)

Batik is a wax-resist technique for producing designs and patterns on fabric. Wax is applied to the fabric with a brush, tjanting tool, electric batik pen or stamp prior to dyeing to keep the color from reaching the fiber. After coloring, the wax is removed.

Jacquard Batik Wax is a 75/25 blend of paraffin and beeswax. It has better adhesion to fabric, less brittleness than paraffin alone and is easier to remove from the fabric than pure beeswax. The blend also allows for more controlled cracking effects.

• Optimized 75/25 paraffin & beeswax blend — Better fabric adhesion and less brittleness than pure paraffin, with easier removal than pure beeswax, giving you the best qualities of both.
• Controlled cracking effects — The balanced blend allows for more predictable and artistic crackling, a signature characteristic of traditional batik.
• Works with all batik application methods — Apply with a brush, tjanting tool, electric batik pen or stamp for precise, versatile wax-resist patterning on fabric.
