Foncepi is a long-standing Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of Carnauba wax, established in 1922 and part of the RF Group. We provide industrial-grade wax in various forms, including powder, to support manufacturers and formulators in diverse markets. Our operations, based in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, focus on delivering raw material solutions that meet rigorous industrial standards for purity and performance.
When sourcing bulk Carnauba wax powder, selecting the correct granulometry and type is essential for seamless integration into your specific manufacturing process. Whether your application requires consistent dispersion or specific physical characteristics, our technical team is prepared to assist you in aligning our available specifications with your production requirements. Contact us with your application details and specific needs to request a formal quote for your volume requirements.
Technical Specifications and Granulometry
Our Carnauba wax powder is processed to meet specific particle size requirements, with options including 95% passage in either a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. These options provide the necessary flexibility for different formulation systems, ensuring the raw material interacts effectively with your existing binders, solvents, or other components. The particle size is a critical factor for maintaining homogeneity and achieving the desired finish in your final product.
We offer various types of Carnauba wax—including Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4—which differ in color and refinement levels. For instance, the Gardner color scale serves as a reference for visual assessment, with Type 1 generally offering a lighter appearance compared to Type 3. We recommend that your technical team reviews these parameters to confirm which grade best suits your production objectives and aesthetic requirements.
Industrial Applications and Formulation Support
Carnauba wax powder is a versatile ingredient used across numerous industries, ranging from specialty coatings and printing inks to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its high melting point (80–86 °C) and excellent film-forming properties make it an ideal choice for enhancing surface durability, providing gloss, or acting as a release agent in complex industrial formulations. We provide this raw material for your expert team to evaluate in your proprietary recipes.
While our wax is utilized in diverse sectors, we operate as a raw material supplier rather than a manufacturer of finished goods. We provide the technical documentation required for your quality control and R&D teams to conduct compatibility testing. By sharing your project’s goals, we can guide you toward the most appropriate grade and ensure the documentation, such as the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for a specific lot, supports your qualification process.
Logistics and Bulk Supply Capabilities
We supply Carnauba wax in standardized industrial packaging, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to maintain product integrity during international transit. Our supply chain is structured to support commercial-scale orders, ensuring that the volume delivered meets your operational demand. We invite you to discuss your preferred packaging configuration and the scale of your procurement needs during the quoting process.
The feasibility of your order depends on factors such as current production capacity, the specific grade requested, and the logistics of exporting from Brazil to your destination. We work closely with our partners to coordinate the supply of raw materials, ensuring that all logistical details—from packaging to documentation—are addressed to facilitate a smooth procurement experience. Please provide your estimated purchase volume so we can determine the most efficient delivery arrangement.
Qualification and Documentation
Ensuring that our raw materials comply with your internal quality management systems is a priority. Upon request, we provide relevant technical data, including the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which are essential for your regulatory and quality assurance departments. These documents serve as the foundation for your material qualification and help define the suitability of our wax for your specific industry or formulation environment.
For industries requiring strict adherence to quality and safety protocols, transparency regarding the material’s characteristics is vital. We encourage your procurement and regulatory teams to request the necessary documentation for your specific project. By providing clear requirements regarding your sector and the intended use of the powder, you enable us to provide the information necessary to facilitate your internal approval process.

Foncepi remains committed to providing the global industry with high-quality Brazilian Carnauba wax. We focus on delivering consistent raw material that supports the technical requirements of your formulations, ensuring reliability from our manufacturing facilities in Brazil to your production floor.
