AFFCO primarily has been in the commercial end of business until recently.

Our staff now designs, tests and builds new innovations for common product design flaws. Our goal has been to take common items and enhance their characteristics through textile engineering. AFFCO has engineered a solution to the wax tart industry and has developed and Patented a new carrier system called Wax WarmUps.™

Wax WarmUps™ is a fibrous reservoir which holds wax/fragrance and when the Wax WarmUp™ is placed on a conventional heating system, it remains contained in the reservoir and releases fragrances more linear as opposed to the quick flash off of fragrance in a conventional tart system. More so, the safety factors of quick change over’s and the elimination of a hot spill able liquid pool make WarmUps™ the product of choice backed with over 100 years of textile innovation and American manufacturing.
