You can visit our corporate website www.primacyind.com for more information.

Ekam candles are designed and produced specially for the Indian market. They are neither imported nor export surplus.

All fragrances, colours and styles are created specially keeping in mind Indian preferences. They are superior quality candles and comparatively contain a higher percentage of fragrance, up to 7%. Ekam candles burn better and more evenly due to their superior quality, which passes the international ASTM quality requirements.

Ekam candles are priced very competitively after thorough market research to provide end-customers maximum value for money. (There are lower quality imports in the Indian market, which are priced 10 - 15 % higher)

By dividing the burn time by the MRP, customers can see how affordable it is to use Ekam candles.

Ekam wicks are 100% lead-free (though not pure cotton) and imported from leading, internationally approved suppliers of Germany and the US. They are non-toxic and virtually give out no sooty flue.

Ekam uses only the highest quality fragrances declared safe by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA). Though not organic, all fragrances used by Ekam are approved for sale even in the US and Europe.

Ekam uses a mixture of vegetable-based wax and paraffin wax of the best quality. We plan to launch a soy wax range in the future.

Pillar candles can tunnel if the wrong wick is used, if the wick is not correctly centered /placed and if an improper wax to fragrance ratio is used in production.

Primacy has been producing internationally accepted pillar candles for over two years, and Ekam pillars are produced after the same ‘burn’ tests for quality assurance.

With proper burning practice (see ‘Tips’), they will burn down evenly and as such, last longer.

For safety purpose, we do not produce refills as it is difficult to ensure that customers use the right refill in a container.

For safety and health purpose we do not recommend that these glass jars be reused for any other purpose.

The burn time depends on the shape and size of the candle. The maximum burn time for each candle is specified on the warning label on the base of the candle or printed on the packaging.

Ekam candles are priced based on a variety of factors such as glass, wax composition and fragrance prices. Also, the production time involved. Like all other products, they may be re-priced at time of production due to market fluctuations.
