Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, providing high-quality vegetable-based raw materials for the global confectionery industry since 1922. As part of the RF Group, we support gummy candy manufacturers by supplying standardized wax grades that meet the technical demands of advanced food formulations, ensuring consistent input for your production processes.
Selecting the appropriate wax type is critical for the texturizing and finishing stages of gummy confectionery, where surface gloss and non-stick properties are essential. We invite manufacturers and procurement professionals to contact Foncepi to discuss the specific technical requirements, grade compatibility, and estimated volume for your upcoming production cycles.
Technical Selection for Confectionery Applications
Gummy candy manufacturing requires a reliable raw material that contributes to the desired surface finish and protection against moisture, while maintaining food-grade compliance. At Foncepi, we offer Tipo 1, Tipo 3, and Tipo 4 carnauba wax, each presenting distinct color profiles and physical characteristics that may be suited for different confectionery formulations.
The selection process should focus on your specific formulation goals, such as the intended sheen or the handling requirements during the panning or glazing stage. Our team provides the necessary technical data to help your quality and R&D departments evaluate how our wax types align with your specific manufacturing standards and internal quality protocols.
Evaluating Wax Forms for Efficient Incorporation
For gummy manufacturers, the physical form of the wax—whether flakes or powder—plays a significant role in the ease of dispersion and processing efficiency. We supply our carnauba wax in various presentations, ensuring that the material is physically suited for your melting equipment, emulsification processes, or dry-coating methods.
While flakes are commonly used for melting applications, our powder form offers an alternative for processes that require specific particle distribution. We encourage you to clarify your incorporation method so we can provide guidance on the available forms that best match your machinery and the specific performance expectations of your gummy line.
Particle Size and Consistency Standards
Consistency in raw material input is vital for maintaining the quality of high-volume confectionery production. Our powdered carnauba wax is manufactured to meet specific granulometry standards, with options featuring a 95% passage rate through either 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieves, depending on the requirements defined in your formulation project.
When requesting a quotation, please specify the required mesh size to ensure the material meets your process parameters. These specifications are designed to assist your technical team in verifying the suitability of our wax for your production environment, minimizing variability and supporting the stability of your final candy output.
Logistics and Bulk Supply for Global Operations
Foncepi coordinates the export of carnauba wax from our production units in Brazil to various international markets, including the United States. We manage bulk orders using professional packaging solutions, such as 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags, to ensure the integrity of the material during transit and to facilitate efficient handling upon arrival at your facility.
The logistical requirements, including packing configurations and volume, are determined during the commercial negotiation phase. We encourage you to reach out with your annual or quarterly volume estimates and specific packaging needs, allowing us to provide an accurate assessment of our current export capacity and fulfillment conditions for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between Tipo 1 and Tipo 3 carnauba wax for confectionery?
The main difference between Tipo 1 and Tipo 3 relates to their physical appearance, specifically their Gardner color index. Tipo 1 typically presents a lighter color compared to Tipo 3. Your choice should depend on the visual requirements of your gummy coating and the specific color profile of your product.
Can Foncepi provide documentation for food-grade compliance?
Foncepi provides standard technical documentation, including TDS and SDS, to assist your quality and regulatory teams in their evaluation. We recommend submitting your specific documentation requirements when requesting a quote so our team can provide the relevant information regarding our current production and quality standards.
How should I decide between 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder?
The decision between 100 mesh and 200 mesh should be based on your internal processing needs and the fineness required for your coating or dispersion method. 95% of our powder passes through the selected sieve; you should evaluate which granularity is compatible with your current manufacturing equipment.
What are the standard packaging options available for bulk orders?
We offer our carnauba wax in 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags. The most appropriate packaging solution depends on your facility's storage capabilities and your handling requirements. Please mention your preferred packaging when requesting a quotation so we can confirm the current availability for your specific order.
How do I start the process of requesting a quote for my gummy candy line?
To request a quote, please contact us via e-mail or phone with details about your intended application, the required wax type and form, the desired particle size, and your estimated purchase volume. Providing these details allows us to review the feasibility of your request and provide accurate information.
