Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, supplying industrial-grade ingredients to the automotive chemical sector since 1922. We provide consistent raw materials derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm, essential for formulators developing high-performance automotive coatings, polishes, and corrosion-resistant protective layers.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical for achieving the desired hardness, gloss, and durability in your coating systems. By aligning our production parameters with your technical requirements, we help ensure your formulations meet professional standards. Please contact our team with your application details and specific technical requirements to initiate a quote.
Technical Specifications for Automotive Formulations
Automotive coatings often require specific melting points and hardness profiles to provide effective paint protection and environmental resistance. Foncepi offers Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 carnauba wax, each presenting distinct physical characteristics such as acid values and melting ranges between 80–86 °C. These parameters are essential for formulators seeking to balance film formation and surface slip.
We understand that color consistency is vital for transparent or high-gloss automotive applications. Our range includes options with specific Gardner color indices, allowing manufacturers to choose the grade that best integrates into their existing chemical blends. We invite you to request our current technical data sheets to evaluate how our specifications align with your processing parameters.
Choosing Between Flakes and Powder
The physical presentation of the raw material is a key factor in your production efficiency. Foncepi supplies carnauba wax in flakes and powder forms, accommodating different dissolution or dispersion methods. Whether you utilize high-shear mixing or thermal blending, the selected physical state will influence how the wax incorporates into your automotive coating matrix.
For manufacturers requiring powdered carnauba, we offer options including 95% passage in a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. These granular specifications are designed to support precise dosing and uniform distribution within your formulations. Please specify your preferred presentation and desired mesh size during your inquiry so we can provide a solution tailored to your manufacturing capabilities.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging
To support the operational needs of our international partners, we provide flexible packaging configurations including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These options are intended to facilitate efficient inventory management and simplify the handling of raw materials within your facility. We ensure that our packaging solutions maintain the integrity of the wax during transit from our units in Brazil.
Exporting to diverse markets, including the United States, requires a clear understanding of supply conditions and logistics. While we maintain a robust export operation, final arrangements regarding shipment volumes and packaging requirements are determined through our formal quoting process. We encourage you to define your volume needs to receive an accurate assessment of our current export supply options.
Ensuring Quality and Documentation for Compliance
Quality assurance starts with the selection of the correct raw material. Foncepi provides the necessary technical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), to assist your internal quality and regulatory teams in verifying compliance with your formulation standards. These documents serve as the primary resource for evaluating our products for your specific industrial applications.
As a manufacturer, you need to ensure that the ingredients sourced for your automotive coatings meet your internal safety and quality thresholds. We recommend that your team reviews our technical documentation early in the procurement cycle to verify the suitability of our wax for your intended use. Reach out to us to request the relevant documentation for our current available lots.
