Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax as a core raw material for manufacturers specializing in coating additives. With a legacy in Brazilian carnauba production since 1922, our company operates with modern facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, ensuring consistent supply and rigorous quality control for industrial clients worldwide. We understand the specific technical demands of additive production, where chemical stability and physical properties are paramount to the final performance of your coating systems.

Selecting the right wax grade is a critical step for developers of additives, as the melting point and acid value directly influence the behavior of the final formulation. Our portfolio includes Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, offered in various forms such as flakes and powder to suit different manufacturing processes and dispersion requirements. We invite you to discuss your technical specifications and volume needs with our commercial team to initiate your procurement process.

Technical Specifications for Coating Additives

The performance of an additive often depends on the uniformity of the raw material. Foncepi maintains standard parameters for our carnauba wax, including a melting point range of 80–86 °C and controlled acid and saponification values. These properties are essential for manufacturers aiming to enhance the scratch resistance, slip, or gloss of industrial coatings. Our focus is on providing a consistent base that meets your formulation’s quality standards.

Technical documentation, such as the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for specific lots, is available to support your internal qualification process. Whether you are developing additives for architectural, automotive, or industrial protective coatings, our team can provide the necessary technical data to help you verify compatibility. Please share your formulation requirements so we can align our available grades with your expected performance goals.

Physical Forms for Efficient Processing

Our carnauba wax is available in different physical presentations to facilitate your manufacturing operations. For processes requiring rapid incorporation or specific particle size distributions, we offer powdered wax, with options for 100 mesh or 200 mesh granularity, providing 95% passage in the respective sieve tests. Choosing the appropriate form is key to optimizing your dispersion cycles and ensuring the homogeneity of your additive blend.

In addition to powder, our flakes are an excellent option for applications that require controlled melting or blending in heated systems. Each form is handled and packaged to preserve the integrity of the wax during transport and storage. When requesting a quote, please specify whether your process utilizes cold mixing or thermal dispersion to ensure we suggest the most suitable presentation for your equipment.

Logistics and Packaging Options

To support the diverse supply chain needs of additive manufacturers, we provide standardized packaging solutions designed for durability and ease of handling. Our products are available in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, ensuring that we can accommodate different inventory scales and warehouse management requirements. The choice of packaging should reflect your storage capacity and the scale of your production cycles.

We maintain a robust export operation from Brazil to markets in the United States and other international regions. While our packaging ensures the stability of the wax throughout transit, we recommend discussing your specific delivery volume and logistics expectations during the consultation phase. Our commercial team will work with you to define the best configuration for your supply requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Foncepi provide technical documentation for additive manufacturing?

Yes, we provide standard technical documentation for our products, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) for specific lots. We recommend that manufacturers review these documents against their internal standards to ensure the material meets the requirements of their specific coating additive formulations.

What is the difference between your 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder?

Our powdered carnauba wax follows specific sieve standards, with 95% passage guaranteed for either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. The choice depends on your specific dispersion process and the desired particle size distribution required to ensure the efficiency of your final additive product.

Can Foncepi customize a wax blend for my specific coating?

Foncepi provides high-quality raw carnauba wax in standard types and formats. We do not currently offer bespoke blending or custom formulation services. We suggest incorporating our raw material into your existing manufacturing processes to achieve the performance characteristics required for your specific application.

How should I request a quote for my coating additive project?

To receive an accurate quote, please contact us via email or phone with the following information: the specific wax type, the required physical form (flakes or powder), the desired particle size if applicable, the total volume needed, and your destination country for shipping logistics.

Are your carnauba wax flakes suitable for thermal dispersion?

Yes, our carnauba wax flakes are commonly used in processes involving thermal dispersion due to their melting range of 80–86 °C. The flakes provide excellent consistency for melting and blending into various coating additive systems. Please confirm your process temperatures to ensure full compatibility.
