Foncepi, a traditional Brazilian producer and exporter of carnauba wax since 1922, serves global industries requiring high-purity natural waxes as raw material for technical applications. We support manufacturers of capacitor impregnation compounds by providing consistent grades derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm, ensuring our products meet the precise formulation standards necessary for electrical components and dielectric insulation processes.
Selecting the appropriate grade is critical when formulating impregnation compounds to ensure the desired thermal stability and physical properties of your finished components. Whether your process requires specific melting points or acidity indices, our team is ready to assist in evaluating our product portfolio to match your technical documentation. Contact our commercial team to discuss your application and the specific technical requirements for your capacitor project.
Technical Specifications for Impregnation Compounds
The performance of an impregnation compound is highly dependent on the quality and consistency of its raw materials, particularly the refined carnauba wax. Foncepi supplies types that are often evaluated by industrial manufacturers for their high melting point, typically ranging between 80–86 °C, and their specific chemical characteristics including acid and saponification values that align with demanding dielectric requirements.
We encourage manufacturers to request our current Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA) to confirm that the wax parameters, such as impurity levels and Gardner color, align with your internal formulation specifications. Reviewing these documents against your application’s requirements is an essential step in validating our raw material for your specific impregnation technology.
Evaluating Material Form and Processing
Foncepi offers carnauba wax in various physical presentations, including flakes, powder, and lumps, to accommodate different dissolution and processing workflows. For manufacturers integrating wax into complex chemical compounds, the choice of form can significantly impact the efficiency of the blending and melting stages. We provide these variations to ensure that your industrial equipment receives a consistent feed material.
Please note that for our powder presentations, we maintain specifications for 95% passage in 100 mesh or 200 mesh. It is important to define the mesh size that suits your equipment’s dispersion requirements during the initial inquiry. We do not define these forms as micronized or nano-engineered; rather, we provide standard industrial grades that meet the physical consistency required for reliable processing.
Logistics and Supply for Industrial Manufacturing
We provide robust packaging solutions, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to maintain the integrity of the wax during international transit and storage. Our logistics focus ensures that we can support your procurement schedule, whether your facility is located in the United States, Europe, or Asia. The configuration of your shipment, including palletization and total volume, will be established during the formal quotation process.
While we are prepared to export to major global markets, availability, transit times, and packaging requirements are subject to detailed discussion. By sharing your estimated annual purchase volume and preferred logistics arrangements, we can better align our supply capability with your industrial production cycle, ensuring a smooth procurement experience from our facilities in Brazil.
Initiating Your Commercial Inquiry
To begin the evaluation of Foncepi’s carnauba wax for your capacitor impregnation compounds, we require specific details regarding your technical and commercial needs. Providing information such as the desired wax type, requested physical form, and expected volume allows our team to prepare an accurate and relevant proposal. This step ensures that we address your specific industrial challenges with the appropriate documentation.
Our commercial team is available to assist you in navigating the selection of our raw materials. By providing clear application details, you help us understand the parameters that are critical for your success, allowing for a focused discussion on documentation, such as COA or SDS, and the feasibility of supplying the requested grade for your specific manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Foncepi provide documentation to help qualify the wax for my impregnation compound formulation?
Yes, we provide Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Certificates of Analysis (COA) for our various grades. We encourage your R&D or quality department to review these documents against your specific formulation requirements to determine the compatibility and suitability of our raw material for your manufacturing process.
Which physical form of carnauba wax is best for capacitor impregnation compounds?
The choice between flakes, powder, or lumps depends on your specific melting equipment and mixing process. Flakes are commonly used for bulk melting, while powder forms are often utilized when faster dispersion is required. Please discuss your processing method with our team to identify the most suitable format.
What is the difference between 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder for industrial use?
These represent different particle size distributions based on our standard sieve testing, where 95% of the material passes through the respective mesh. The choice depends on your specific formulation requirements for uniformity and dissolution speed. We recommend selecting the mesh size that aligns with your established technical process.
How can I request a price quotation for my company?
To receive a quotation, please contact us via email or phone with your specific requirements. We need details regarding the wax type, the required physical form (flakes or powder), the desired packaging (25 kg or 500 kg), your destination country, and the estimated purchase volume for your project.
Are your carnauba wax products suitable for all industrial electronic applications?
Our carnauba wax is supplied as a raw material for various industrial uses, including impregnation compounds. However, we do not certify our products for specific electronic performance standards. We provide the material and technical specifications, leaving the validation of its performance in your finished product to your internal engineering team.
