Selecting Carnauba Wax for Corrosion Resistance
Carnauba wax is recognized for its ability to provide an excellent hydrophobic barrier, which is critical when developing protective coatings designed to prevent rust and oxidation. At Foncepi, we offer specific grades such as Type 1 and Type 3, which serve as foundational ingredients for manufacturers looking to enhance the protective longevity of their anti-corrosion chemical formulations.
Choosing the right wax grade involves assessing the desired color and purity level for your specific coating system. While our technical specifications provide a reference for your laboratory analysis, our team is available to assist you in evaluating which type aligns best with your existing production protocols and performance objectives.
Physical Forms and Technical Specifications
We supply carnauba wax in various physical forms, including flakes and powder, to accommodate the distinct mixing and dispersion methods used in the chemical industry. For formulations requiring precise particle integration, our powder options are available with specific mesh standards, such as 95% passing through 100 mesh or 200 mesh, depending on your processing equipment.
The physical state of the raw material is vital for consistent incorporation into solvent-borne or water-based systems. We invite you to clarify your technical requirements regarding the form and particle size needed, as this information is essential for ensuring that the raw material integrates effectively into your manufacturing process.
Standards for Industrial Formulators
Foncepi maintains rigorous standards for our carnauba wax, with parameters such as a melting range between 80–86 °C and controlled moisture levels of up to 1.00%. These technical benchmarks are provided to assist R&D and quality control teams in evaluating the suitability of our wax for their specific anti-corrosion applications, ensuring alignment with your internal compliance and performance standards.
Our acid and saponification values are managed to ensure consistency across different production batches. When considering our wax as a raw material for your protective coatings, we recommend reviewing our latest technical data sheets and discussing the specific laboratory tests your team requires for homologation and approval.
Logistics and Bulk Supply Capabilities
We export to major global markets and are prepared to facilitate the supply of carnauba wax in packaging configurations that suit large-scale industrial operations. We offer 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, allowing us to cater to various inventory and storage needs. Please inform us of your specific logistics requirements when requesting your commercial proposal.
The efficiency of your supply chain depends on accurate scheduling and defined delivery requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax?
The main distinction between these grades is their visual appearance and color profile, as measured by the Gardner scale. While Type 1 is lighter, typically ranging from 3.50 to 5.50, Type 3 ranges from 8.10 to 10.50. Both grades offer the protective characteristics expected for industrial anti-corrosion coatings.
How should I specify the particle size for my anti-corrosion coating formulation?
You should select the particle size based on your specific dispersion equipment and the desired finish of the coating. We offer powder versions with 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. Please confirm your specific requirements during the inquiry process to ensure compatibility with your production system.
Does Foncepi provide technical documentation for quality control and R&D evaluation?
Yes, we provide standard technical data sheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) to support your internal evaluation. When you contact us for a quote, please specify the documentation you require for your quality assurance and homologation processes so our team can provide the necessary information.
What packaging options are available for bulk orders of carnauba wax?
We typically supply our carnauba wax in 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags to accommodate industrial manufacturing scales. Your specific preference for packaging should be included in your request for quotation, as it influences the handling and logistics planning for your order.
How can I request a quote for my company's specific needs?
To receive a quote, please contact our commercial department via carnaubawax@foncepi.com.br. Kindly provide details regarding the grade (e.g., Type 1 or 3), the physical form (flakes or powder), the required mesh size, your total volume, and the country of destination for the export.
