Foncepi is a premier Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, supporting industrial clients globally since 1922. We specialize in providing the high-purity vegetable wax required for sophisticated fruit protection systems, ensuring consistent material quality for manufacturers of post-harvest coatings for mandarins and other citrus varieties.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical for creating effective, uniform coatings that balance breathability with moisture loss reduction. Our team is prepared to assist your technical department in evaluating our portfolio to match the specific requirements of your fruit coating formulations. Contact us today to discuss your technical specifications and required volumes for your upcoming production cycles.
Selecting the Right Grade for Fruit Coatings
The formulation of mandarin coatings often requires specific purity and melting point characteristics to ensure optimal drying time and gloss. Foncepi offers refined carnauba wax grades that are commonly utilized as the primary ingredient in edible coating emulsions, providing the structural integrity needed to protect fruit during transport and storage.
When evaluating materials, manufacturers should consider the melting range, which typically spans 80–86 °C for our standard grades. The color index is another essential parameter, as it directly impacts the final clarity and visual aesthetic of the coating applied to the mandarin peel. We recommend reviewing our technical documentation to determine which grade best suits your specific emulsion stability and appearance targets.
Physical Forms for Industrial Formulation
To facilitate seamless integration into your mixing or emulsification processes, we provide carnauba wax in various physical presentations, including flakes and powder. For manufacturers who prioritize efficient dissolution or dispersion within their water-based coating systems, choosing the correct physical form is essential for maintaining production efficiency and quality standards.
Our powdered wax is processed to meet specific granulometry requirements, ensuring it integrates reliably into high-shear mixers. Whether your facility is optimized for the direct handling of flakes or requires the fine particle size of our powder, we can accommodate your processing needs. Please specify your preferred physical presentation when requesting a quotation to ensure our logistics team aligns with your production workflow.
Logistics and Bulk Supply Requirements
Foncepi handles the export of carnauba wax from our manufacturing sites in Brazil to industrial partners worldwide. We understand that mandarin coating manufacturers require a reliable supply chain to support consistent output, and we manage our export operations to ensure that material is ready for your facility’s intake and long-term storage requirements.
Our products are available in standard 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, providing flexibility based on your facility’s handling capabilities and storage constraints. During the quotation process, we will discuss the most efficient packaging configurations and delivery expectations for your location. Please provide your estimated annual volume and preferred delivery terms so we can tailor our commercial proposal to your procurement needs.
Technical Documentation and Specification Support
Transparency in material specification is the foundation of our relationship with industrial clients. We provide standard technical data sheets that outline the key chemical and physical properties of our wax, such as acid and saponification values. This documentation is vital for your quality control and regulatory teams as they validate the raw material for use in food-grade applications.
Beyond our standard specifications, we encourage procurement and quality managers to reach out directly to coordinate the necessary documentation for your internal homologation process. By sharing your specific application requirements and the regulatory standards your formulation must meet, we can provide the appropriate technical guidance and current lot data to facilitate your assessment.
Conclusion
Foncepi remains committed to supplying high-quality carnauba wax to manufacturers of fruit coatings, backed by over a century of processing expertise in Brazil. We invite you to leverage our experience in the production and export of this versatile natural polymer to enhance your mandarin protection formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between the wax grades available for mandarin coatings?
The main differences between our grades relate to their physical properties, such as color Gardner values and specific chemical indices like acidity and saponification. These variations allow manufacturers to select the wax that best matches the required clarity and stability of their specific mandarin coating formulation.
Can Foncepi provide documentation to support our regulatory and food safety audits?
Yes. We provide technical data sheets and relevant documentation for our products to assist your regulatory and quality teams. We encourage you to contact us with your specific requirements so we can provide the necessary documentation to support your internal material homologation process.
How does the granulometry of the powdered wax affect the production of coatings?
The granulometry, such as 95% passage through 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens, is designed to ensure consistent particle size distribution. This consistency is essential for manufacturers to achieve uniform dispersion and stable emulsions during the production of coatings, though specific performance depends on your unique formulation process.
What packaging options are available for industrial-scale supply?
We offer carnauba wax in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These options are designed to facilitate efficient handling, storage, and material integration within industrial manufacturing environments. We recommend confirming your preferred packaging during the quotation phase to align with your facility's logistics and handling capabilities.
What information is needed to receive a formal quotation for carnauba wax?
To provide a precise quote, we require details on your specific application, the desired wax form (flakes or powder), the grade type, and your estimated purchase volume. Additionally, informing us of your destination country helps us provide relevant information regarding export conditions and logistical considerations.
