Wicks form the most important component of an oil lamp. Cotton wicks may be
thin, long pieces of cotton or may be round in shape, for various
applications. Cotton, being non-toxic, is both safe and efficient for use in
the manufacture of candle wicking.
The following types of wicks are usually manufactured:
- Zinc Core - These are cotton wicks with a thin metal wire
core made of Zinc.
- Tin Core - These are also cotton wicks with a thin metal wire
core made of Tin.
- Paper Core - These are cotton wicks with a core made of a
stiff paper, like cardboard.
- Coreless Cotton - These are completely cotton braided wicks
and contain no core material.
- Hemp Core - These are available in cotton braid with hemp
core, or in 100% hemp braid.
