Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, providing high-performance vegetable-based raw materials to the global industrial market since 1922. As an integrated part of the RF Group, we support manufacturers of beverage carton coatings by providing consistent grades of carnauba wax that meet the demanding requirements of modern packaging production lines.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical for ensuring the desired protective characteristics in your carton coating formulations. Our team works closely with procurement and R&D professionals to align our production capabilities with your specific technical parameters. Request a consultation to discuss the grade and physical presentation that best suits your manufacturing process.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Coating Formulations
The performance of a carton coating often relies on the consistency and purity of its base components. Foncepi offers refined carnauba wax, including Type 1 and Type 3, which are frequently evaluated for their specific melting point ranges and acid values. These grades are chosen based on the desired physical barrier properties and the compatibility with other additives in your chemical formulation.
Understanding the interaction between the wax and your solvent or dispersion system is essential. While our technical specifications provide standard ranges for melting points and saponification indices, we encourage your technical team to review our current data sheets to ensure the material aligns with your regulatory and performance internal benchmarks.
Physical Forms and Handling in Manufacturing Processes
To accommodate different mixing and dispersion protocols, Foncepi supplies carnauba wax in various presentations, including flakes and powder. For manufacturers utilizing specialized dispersing equipment, the physical format plays a significant role in the efficiency of the integration phase. Our powder, for instance, is produced to meet defined particle size standards, ensuring a uniform distribution within your coating matrix.
When evaluating our powder, please note our current technical standard which includes 95% passing through the relevant mesh screen. Selecting the correct presentation, whether flake or powder, depends on your facility's processing capabilities and the specific rheological requirements of your beverage carton coating. Discuss your handling preferences with our team to ensure the selected format supports your operational efficiency.
Packaging and Logistics for Industrial Supply
We provide packaging solutions designed for secure storage and logistics, including standard 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. The choice of packaging should reflect your production volume and internal handling infrastructure. We aim to ensure that our supply chain process facilitates a smooth receipt of raw materials at your manufacturing site, regardless of the destination.
Finalizing the logistical details is a key step in our commercial engagement. Factors such as regional requirements, delivery timelines, and handling specifications for big bags versus smaller sacks are determined during the quotation process. Please provide your estimated purchase volume and destination so we can outline the most suitable supply arrangement for your operation.
Quality Documentation and Technical Alignment
Foncepi provides the necessary documentation to support our partners in the qualification of our raw materials. For manufacturers of food-contact materials, such as beverage carton coatings, obtaining the correct COA (Certificate of Analysis) and TDS (Technical Data Sheet) is a vital part of your homologation process. We invite you to coordinate with our team to obtain the documents required for your internal quality assessment.
Our role is to provide a reliable source of high-quality vegetable wax that meets your stated specifications. We do not provide ready-to-use coatings, but we offer the raw material that allows you to maintain the integrity of your own proprietary formulations. Contact our commercial team to clarify your technical needs and to initiate the procurement process with our experts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Foncepi provide carnauba wax specifically formulated for beverage carton coatings?
We supply high-quality carnauba wax as a raw material. Manufacturers use our wax as a key ingredient in their coating formulations to achieve the desired protective properties. We support your development by providing technical specifications for our Type 1 and Type 3 grades to ensure suitability for your specific application.
What documentation is available to support the qualification of the wax?
We provide Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA) upon request. These documents contain key parameters such as melting range, acid value, and saponification index. We encourage your quality and regulatory teams to review these documents to ensure the material meets your internal requirements for food-contact packaging.
Can I choose between powder and flakes for my production line?
Yes, we offer carnauba wax in various forms, including flakes and powder, to suit different manufacturing requirements. The decision between these forms should be based on your specific dispersion equipment and mixing process. Please let us know your preferred format when requesting a quote so we can confirm current availability.
How does the particle size of the powder affect the coating formulation?
Our powder is produced to meet a specification of 95% passing through the chosen mesh screen. While this ensures a consistent particle size, the integration of the powder into your specific formulation depends on your processing methods. We recommend testing a sample to confirm the material’s behavior within your coating system.
