Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax, a natural vegetal raw material derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm, to support diverse industrial manufacturing sectors. With a history dating back to 1922 and operations based in Brazil, we supply manufacturers that require precise, reliable, and consistent raw material inputs for their specialized production lines, including the development of high-performance components like battery cases.

For manufacturers focused on the integration of organic waxes into material compounds, selecting the correct grade and physical form is critical to meeting your internal performance requirements. Whether your formulation demands specific melting points, acidity indices, or physical consistency, we invite you to contact us with your technical specifications and volume requirements to initiate a formal commercial evaluation.

Matching Specification to Material Requirements

The choice of carnauba wax grade significantly influences the performance characteristics of industrial coatings and composite formulations. Foncepi produces and exports Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 carnauba wax, each offering distinct color profiles and chemical compositions. Our team assists manufacturers in identifying the specific grade that aligns with the structural and protective requirements of battery case materials.

When evaluating a new supply source, it is essential to review the technical data for each grade, including the melting range—typically between 80 °C and 86 °C—and acid and saponification indices. By sharing your technical requirements, we can provide the appropriate documentation and documentation-supported grades that meet your process standards, ensuring the consistency of your material inputs.

Physical Forms for Industrial Integration

Foncepi supplies carnauba wax in multiple physical forms, including flakes, powder, and lumps, designed to facilitate different mixing and dispersion methods. Each form offers specific handling advantages depending on your manufacturing infrastructure and the level of refinement needed to integrate the wax into your production process without compromising the stability of your compound.

If your process requires powdered wax, we provide options with specific granulometry, such as 95% passage in a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen. We encourage your R&D or procurement teams to define the preferred physical format during the initial consultation. This ensures that the material we ship is suitable for your existing machinery and dispersion protocols.

Logistics and Bulk Supply Capabilities

As an exporter with facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, Foncepi is equipped to manage the supply of carnauba wax in bulk volumes suitable for industrial-scale operations. We offer standardized packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, to ensure that the product arrives at your facility in optimal condition for storage and use.

The logistical aspects of your order, including packaging configuration and volume, will be discussed during the quote preparation phase. We recommend that you provide estimates of your required volume to help our team align our supply capacity with your inventory scheduling and production cycles, facilitating a smooth procurement experience.

Initiating Your Commercial Inquiry

To begin the qualification process, we require specific information regarding the application, desired grade, and expected annual or per-shipment volume. Our commercial team evaluates each inquiry based on the availability of the requested type and format, providing you with the necessary technical and commercial information to progress with your evaluation.

We invite you to reach out to our team at carnaubawax@foncepi.com.br or +55 (85) 3311-3900 to discuss your project needs. Providing a detailed overview of your manufacturing objectives allows us to better support your evaluation of Foncepi as a consistent supplier of high-quality vegetable wax for your industrial requirements.
