Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax to manufacturers focused on developing advanced oxygen barrier packaging solutions. With an industrial history dating back to 1922 and production facilities in Brazil, we supply raw materials that meet strict technical standards for consistent performance. Our operation supports the needs of manufacturers who require reliable wax components to improve the barrier properties of their coatings and films.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical for integration into proprietary barrier formulations. Whether your process involves coating or film modification, our technical documentation assists your R&D and quality departments in evaluating the chemical and physical suitability of our wax types. Contact us to discuss the specific requirements for your barrier application and receive the necessary documentation for your project.
Technical Specifications for Barrier Coating Formulations
The performance of an oxygen barrier often relies on the precise characteristics of the wax used in the coating matrix. Foncepi offers Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, which are frequently evaluated for their melting point and acidic properties. Our technical data, including acid and saponification values, provides the foundation for engineers to determine how our raw material behaves within a complex formulation.
Consistency in the raw material is a primary requirement for manufacturers. Our production process ensures that physical parameters remain within established ranges, assisting your team in achieving reproducible results. We encourage your quality department to review our current TDS and specify the exact grade needed to align with your internal formulation benchmarks.
Granulometry and Processing Requirements
Effective integration of carnauba wax into packaging coatings often depends on particle size. We provide wax in powder form with established granulometry, offering options such as 95% passing through a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen. Understanding the physical form of the wax is essential for your processing equipment and dispersion methods, as these factors influence the homogeneity of the final barrier layer.
We do not treat mesh sizes as interchangeable, as each serves different dispersion requirements in the manufacturing of films and coatings. When submitting your inquiry, please confirm the mesh size your process demands so we can provide the correct specification. Our team is ready to discuss how our powder grades can be integrated into your existing production lines.
Logistics and Bulk Supply for Industrial Packaging
Foncepi handles the export of carnauba wax from our Brazilian facilities to global markets, utilizing secure packaging to maintain the integrity of the material during transit. We offer products in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, providing flexibility based on your facility's handling capacity and storage configuration. These options ensure that you receive the material in a format that optimizes your workflow.
The scale of your supply needs is a vital component of our commercial planning. Whether you are conducting initial trials or scaling up to full production, providing us with your estimated annual or batch volume helps in organizing your request effectively. Discuss your packaging preferences and volume requirements with our team during the quoting process to ensure efficient logistics for your operations.
Compliance and Regulatory Documentation
Manufacturers of food-contact or protective packaging require clear documentation to support their internal safety and compliance protocols. While we provide the raw material, we recognize that our clients must verify the suitability of our wax for their specific regulatory environment. We offer technical documentation to assist your regulatory affairs team in their assessment of our carnauba wax for your particular application.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the chosen grade of carnauba wax meets the legal and safety criteria for their market of destination. We work closely with our clients to provide the necessary data, such as COA and TDS, which are essential for your material qualification process. Please outline your documentation needs when initiating your commercial inquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax for barrier coatings?
The primary differences involve physical parameters such as color and acid value. Type 1 is typically lighter in color compared to Type 3. Manufacturers choose between these grades based on the specific aesthetic or functional requirements of their barrier coating formulation and the desired final properties of the packaging material.
Can Foncepi provide documentation for regulatory compliance in my specific market?
Foncepi provides standard technical documentation, including TDS and typical COA data. We assist your regulatory affairs team by providing the necessary information to evaluate our raw material against your local compliance standards. Please contact us to request the documentation currently available for the specific grade you are considering.
What is the difference between the 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder options?
These represent different levels of fineness, defined by 95% of the material passing through the respective sieve. The choice depends on your dispersion process and the desired characteristics of your barrier coating. We do not recommend one as a universal substitute for the other; your team should define the requirement based on processing trials.
What information is required to receive a formal quotation for my facility?
To provide an accurate quote, please include the specific grade (Type 1, 3, or 4), the form (powder or flakes), the particle size (if applicable), and your estimated volume requirements. Additionally, informing us of your destination helps us address the relevant logistical considerations for your export request.
Is it possible to receive a sample of the carnauba wax for evaluation before a bulk purchase?
Consulting our current commercial policy is the first step regarding sample requests. We recognize that validation of the raw material is an essential stage for packaging manufacturers. Please contact our commercial department with your company details and application to discuss the feasibility of obtaining a sample for your laboratory testing.
