Foncepi serves as a specialized provider of premium vegetable-based carnauba wax for food coating emulsion manufacturers globally. With a legacy dating back to 1922 and operations integrated within the RF Group, we manufacture and export high-purity wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm in our facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará. We support industrial formulators in selecting the appropriate wax grade to ensure consistency and performance in their food-grade emulsion systems.
Our technical team assists manufacturers in evaluating specific wax types—including Type 1 and Type 3—and physical formats to meet the functional requirements of your food coating applications. Whether you are developing emulsions for fruit preservation, confectionery, or other food-related applications, we provide the raw material expertise to align with your production standards. Please contact our commercial team to discuss your technical specifications and inquiry details.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Emulsion Stability
Food coating emulsions require specific physical and chemical parameters to achieve the desired shelf life and protective barrier properties. Carnauba wax is recognized for its high melting point and hardness, which are critical in creating stable coatings. Our portfolio includes Type 1 and Type 3, which offer varying Gardner color profiles and acidity levels, allowing formulators to select the option that best suits their specific processing needs and final product transparency requirements.
The selection of a wax grade should be based on your precise formulation requirements and the intended application. Factors such as acid and saponification values provide the necessary benchmarks for your R&D team to validate compatibility with surfactants and other emulsion components. We encourage your technical department to review our available specifications to ensure they match the stringent quality demands of your food production process.
Physical Formats and Processing Considerations
We offer carnauba wax in various presentations, including flakes and powder, to accommodate different industrial manufacturing methods. For manufacturers requiring specific particle sizes for faster dispersion or uniform integration into their coating systems, our powder is available with a defined granulometry, such as 95% passing through a 100 or 200 mesh screen. These options are designed to facilitate efficient handling and processing within your facility.
When requesting a quotation, please specify the physical format that best integrates with your existing machinery and production workflow. Understanding the interaction between the wax format and your proprietary emulsification process is essential for achieving optimal results. Our team is available to assist you in evaluating how our current product forms align with your operational requirements.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Solutions
Foncepi provides flexible packaging options to support the logistical needs of industrial-scale operations. Our products are typically supplied in 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags, ensuring that you receive the material in a format that maintains product integrity and simplifies warehouse handling. These packaging standards are designed to facilitate secure transport and storage for our international partners across various global markets.
Determining the most suitable packaging depends on your annual volume, storage capacity, and specific handling capabilities. While we maintain a robust export operation, the exact delivery terms, minimum order quantities, and packaging configurations will be tailored to your business needs during the quotation process. Discuss your volume estimates and logistical constraints with us to define the most efficient supply arrangement for your production cycle.
Documentation and Regulatory Compliance
Providing raw materials for the food industry requires rigorous documentation to support your regulatory and quality assurance processes. We supply technical documentation, including the Technical Data Sheet (TDS), to assist your quality control department in verifying our wax against your internal specifications. Clear communication regarding the documentation required for your product homologation ensures that our supply chain remains transparent and efficient.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to verify that the chosen wax grade meets all specific regulatory requirements for their target market and intended food application. We work closely with our partners to provide the necessary information for their internal assessment. Please reach out to our team to request the relevant technical data for your grade of interest so that we may support your procurement and quality review process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which carnauba wax type is best for food coating emulsions?
The choice depends on your specific formulation and color requirements. Type 1 and Type 3 are commonly used in the food industry. We suggest reviewing the technical data for both to see which aligns better with your transparency, melting point, and acidity requirements for your specific application.
Can you provide 100 mesh or 200 mesh powder for my emulsion?
Yes, we provide powder with a specified granulometry where 95% of the product passes through the chosen mesh size. You should specify whether you require a 100 mesh or 200 mesh product in your inquiry so we can provide the correct documentation and availability for your process.
What is the minimum order quantity for international shipments?
The minimum order quantity depends on the product, packaging, and the destination country. We define these requirements during the quotation process based on your total volume and logistic needs. Please provide your estimated purchase volume so we can discuss the most feasible supply options for your business.
What documentation do you provide for quality and compliance?
We provide Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and relevant lot-specific data to help your quality assurance department evaluate the wax for your specific applications. Please contact our team with your specific documentation requirements so we can assist in your internal homologation process.
