Foncepi, a prominent Brazilian manufacturer and exporter established in 1922, provides high-quality carnauba wax to the global confectionery industry. As a key supplier within the RF Group, we offer raw materials tailored for the development of anti-sticking compounds, ensuring the consistency and purity required for high-performance food industry applications.

Our team supports industrial buyers and formulation experts in selecting the appropriate wax grade for their specific anti-sticking processes. By coordinating directly with our export department, you can align our product specifications with your production needs. Please contact us with your application details and target volume to initiate your formal inquiry.

Selecting Carnauba Wax for Confectionery Applications

The selection of carnauba wax for anti-sticking formulations requires careful consideration of the material’s physical properties, including melting point and acid value. Our product range, including Type 1 and Type 3, allows formulators to balance color and chemical performance according to the specific needs of candy, gum, or coating production lines.

We supply the raw wax needed for your in-house compounding, focusing on materials derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm. Because performance in confectionery coatings depends on the specific composition of your blend, we invite you to evaluate our technical documentation to ensure compatibility with your existing processes and quality standards.

Particle Size and Physical Form Considerations

Foncepi offers carnauba wax in multiple physical formats, including flakes and powder, to accommodate diverse industrial incorporation methods. For anti-sticking compounds requiring specific dispersion characteristics, our powder is available with a 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh, providing flexibility for your technical team.

The physical form you choose directly impacts how efficiently the wax integrates into your coating or release agent formulation. We recommend that you consult with your formulation department to determine whether flakes or a specific powder mesh size better suits your manufacturing equipment and the intended application, allowing us to provide the correct material for your production.

Standardizing Specifications for Industrial Procurement

To maintain consistency in your anti-sticking compounds, it is essential to review the analytical parameters of the wax, such as the melting range of 80–86 °C and the acid value of 2–7 mg KOH/g. These metrics serve as a baseline for quality control, helping you ensure that the raw material meets the requirements of your final product.

We provide technical documentation to assist your quality and regulatory departments in the validation process. By specifying your requirements regarding moisture levels, saponification values, and color indices during the quotation phase, you enable us to provide the most accurate assessment of our current inventory for your specific application.

Packaging and Export Logistics for Global Partners

Foncepi provides flexible packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to maintain the integrity of our carnauba wax during international transit. Our export operations from our production facilities in Brazil ensure that the raw material is handled appropriately for delivery to industrial manufacturers across various global markets.

Determining the right packaging volume is a critical step in your supply chain planning. We work with our partners to define the appropriate packaging configuration and quantity based on your facility's storage capabilities and production frequency. Please share your shipment destination and estimated annual requirements so we can discuss the logistical conditions applicable to your order.
