Foncepi, a member of the RF Group with operations dating back to 1922, serves as a primary manufacturer and exporter of Brazilian carnauba wax. We specialize in providing high-purity vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm to industrial manufacturers, including those producing professional-grade bakery release agents. Our production facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, support the supply of raw materials tailored for demanding industrial formulations.
Selecting the appropriate grade of carnauba wax is critical for balancing performance, release efficiency, and stability in bakery-specific anti-stick agents. Whether your formulation requires specific melting points or precise color profiles, Foncepi offers consistent material options to meet your technical requirements. We invite you to contact us with your application details and required specifications to request a formal quote for your industrial production.
Technical Specifications for Release Agent Formulations
Bakery release agents demand raw materials that provide consistent film-forming properties and reliable release performance. Our portfolio includes Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, characterized by a melting range of 80–86 °C, which is essential for ensuring stability during the high-temperature cycles often encountered in industrial baking environments.
The selection between Type 1 and Type 3 is often guided by color requirements, as indicated by our Gardner scale ranges of 3.50–5.50 and 8.10–10.50, respectively. When evaluating our wax for your specific release agent, we recommend reviewing our current technical data sheets (TDS) and certificate of analysis (COA) to ensure that parameters such as acid and saponification values align with your quality control standards.
Forms and Granulometry for Efficient Dispersion
The physical form of the carnauba wax significantly influences the speed and efficiency of the dissolution or dispersion process within your release agent blend. We supply carnauba wax in flakes and powder forms, designed to accommodate various manufacturing workflows and equipment capabilities currently utilized in your facility.
For applications requiring powdered wax, we provide grades with 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieves. Please note that these alternatives are distinct; choosing the correct particle distribution is vital for achieving the desired homogeneity in your final formulation. We recommend informing our commercial team about your preferred incorporation method so we can advise on the most suitable physical form.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Standards
Foncepi supports the industrial scale of your operations by offering standardized packaging solutions designed for secure transport and storage. Our carnauba wax is available in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, ensuring that we can meet the volume requirements of your manufacturing facility while maintaining the integrity of the material during export from Brazil.
We understand that industrial supply chains require reliable handling and consistent logistical planning. When you request a quote, please specify your expected order volume and preferred packaging type. This information allows us to provide an accurate proposal regarding availability and current conditions for your specific destination, ensuring that our logistics match your supply requirements.
Qualification and Documentation for Regulatory Compliance
As a manufacturer of bakery-related products, you likely require specific documentation to support your regulatory and quality assurance processes. Foncepi is committed to transparency regarding our raw material properties, providing the necessary technical documentation to assist your team in assessing our wax for your internal validation protocols.
We encourage prospective partners to define their specific regulatory needs during the initial inquiry stage. While we maintain standardized quality control across our operations, final approval for food-grade applications rests with the manufacturer using the raw material. Please reach out to our team to discuss your documentation requirements, including the necessary COA or TDS, to facilitate your procurement process.
Conclusion
Foncepi remains dedicated to supplying high-quality Brazilian carnauba wax as a reliable raw material for bakery release agent manufacturers. Our commitment to providing distinct types and forms allows you to optimize your formulations according to your specific technical and industrial objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax for release agents?
The primary differences involve their visual appearance and color specifications, as measured on the Gardner scale. Type 1 generally presents a lighter color range (3.50–5.50), while Type 3 presents a darker range (8.10–10.50). Both share similar functional characteristics like the 80–86 °C melting range, vital for release performance.
Can Foncepi provide a 200 mesh powder for my bakery release agent formulation?
Yes, we offer powder in 100 mesh or 200 mesh options, with a 95% passage rate for either grade. Since these represent different particle distributions, it is important to confirm which granulometry is compatible with your specific blending or dispersion equipment when requesting your quote.
What information should I provide to receive an accurate commercial quote?
To provide an accurate quote, please include the specific wax type required (Type 1, 3, or 4), the desired form (flakes or powder), the granulometry if choosing powder, the requested packaging size (25 kg or 500 kg), and the estimated purchase volume for your industrial application.
Does Foncepi provide documentation for food-grade applications?
We provide technical data sheets (TDS) and certificates of analysis (COA) for our products. We encourage manufacturers to review this documentation against their specific regulatory and safety requirements to ensure our raw material aligns with their internal quality standards and intended food-related application.
Are there specific minimum order quantities for purchasing carnauba wax?
Minimum order quantities depend on several factors, including the specific type of wax requested and the destination for export. We define these conditions during the quotation process. Please share your projected volume with our sales team so we can evaluate the feasibility based on our current availability.
