Foncepi, a member of the RF Group with operations since 1922, manufactures and exports premium Brazilian Carnauba Wax tailored for diverse industrial applications. We support pigment dispersion manufacturers by providing a reliable vegetable-based raw material that meets stringent requirements for consistency and chemical performance in ink formulations.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical to achieving stable pigment wetting and dispersion. Our production facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, ensure a controlled supply chain for industrial buyers seeking high-standard wax profiles. Please contact us with your technical requirements and estimated volume to request a quote for the specific grade and format your process demands.
Technical Specifications for Ink Formulation Stability
The performance of ink pigment dispersion depends heavily on the physical and chemical characteristics of the wax additive. Foncepi offers Carnauba Wax types that provide the necessary hardness and melting ranges, typically between 80 °C and 86 °C, to ensure compatibility with high-performance ink systems.
Buyers should evaluate parameters such as acid and saponification values when selecting their raw material. Our standard technical documentation provides the precise data required for your R&D team to assess how our Carnauba Wax interacts with your specific pigment concentrates. We encourage manufacturers to request the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for the current lot to verify compliance with your formulation standards.
Granulometry and Processing Considerations
For manufacturers requiring refined particle sizes for incorporation into ink bases, we provide Carnauba Wax in powder form. Our production processes offer specific granulometry options, including material with 95% passage through 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. This selection allows for better integration into your milling or dispersion equipment.
It is important to note that mesh size refers to the screening capability rather than a specific particle size distribution. We recommend that your production team evaluates the particle fineness needed to ensure efficient dispersion within your specific mixing technology. Discuss your processing method with our commercial team so we can align our available specifications with your technical setup.
Packaging Solutions for Industrial Operations
We understand that industrial supply chains require reliable packaging to maintain material integrity during transit and storage. Foncepi supplies Carnauba Wax in standard 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags, designed to meet the handling needs of mid-to-large scale manufacturing facilities.
The choice between 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags should be based on your facility's internal logistics and storage capacity. Whether your operation is set up for manual feeding or automated bulk systems, we can assist in defining the packaging format that best fits your workflow. Please confirm your volume requirements when initiating a request to ensure optimal logistics planning.
Quality Documentation and Material Qualification
Qualification of raw materials is a vital step for any ink manufacturer maintaining consistent product quality. Foncepi facilitates this process by providing the necessary technical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), for evaluation during your internal homologation procedures.
As we operate as a manufacturer and exporter, our focus is on providing a consistent raw material that supports your regulatory and quality assurance teams. We invite you to initiate contact to discuss your specific documentation needs, ensuring you have the necessary data to approve our Carnauba Wax for use in your pigment dispersion processes.
Conclusion
Foncepi provides the industrial expertise and manufacturing reliability required to support pigment dispersion manufacturers worldwide. By choosing the right grade and form of our Brazilian Carnauba Wax, you ensure a solid foundation for your ink formulations.
We look forward to discussing your specific requirements. To facilitate an accurate quote, please provide details regarding your required wax type, granulometry preference, annual volume estimation, and destination country.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Foncepi provide technical data to support the qualification of Carnauba Wax for ink production?
Yes, Foncepi provides the necessary technical documentation, including TDS and COA for specific lots, to assist your R&D and quality teams in the validation process. We recommend reaching out to our team to request the documentation relevant to your specific application requirements.
What is the difference between the 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder options?
The mesh designations refer to the screening process where 95% of the material must pass through the specified screen. These are distinct options for different dispersion requirements. You should select the granularity that best aligns with your equipment’s capabilities and the desired dispersion results for your inks.
Can Foncepi provide advice on which wax type is best for my specific ink formula?
We provide the raw material specification, but we do not offer formulation consultancy. We recommend that your technical team reviews our technical parameters, such as the acid value and melting range, to determine which of our available grades aligns with your unique ink formulation.
What information should I include in my request for a commercial quotation?
To provide an accurate quote, please include the specific wax type (Type 1, 3, or 4), the required form (powder or flakes), the preferred granulometry if ordering powder, your estimated purchase volume, and the final destination for delivery.
Does Foncepi manage local inventory or distribution in my country?
Foncepi is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter. We do not maintain local inventory or distribution branches abroad. All exports are managed from our facilities in Brazil, and conditions, including lead times and logistics, are defined individually during the quoting process for your specific location.
