Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, supporting industrial operations globally since 1922. For manufacturers focused on developing advanced packaging coating emulsions, our carnauba wax offers the essential purity and consistency required for high-performance barrier and finish applications. We integrate advanced extraction processes with robust industrial supply capabilities to support your material requirements.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical to achieving the specific viscosity, stability, and film-forming properties your emulsions demand. Whether you are formulating for paper, cardboard, or specialty film substrates, our team assists you in aligning our technical specifications with your processing needs. Contact our commercial team to discuss your specific technical requirements and order volumes for your next production cycle.
Selecting Carnauba Wax Grades for Emulsion Stability
The selection of the correct carnauba wax type is the foundation for a stable emulsion. Foncepi supplies Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 carnauba wax, each offering distinct color profiles and chemical characteristics that influence the final coating performance. For clear or light-colored emulsion systems, Type 1 is often evaluated due to its refined appearance, while other types may be selected for their functional efficiency in industrial coating formulations.
Technical parameters such as melting point, acid value, and saponification index are available for your internal review to ensure full compatibility with your manufacturing processes. Because every emulsion formulation presents unique challenges, we provide the essential product documentation needed for your quality control and regulatory assessment. Please reach out to our office to request the TDS for the specific grade that fits your development criteria.
Processing and Particle Size Requirements
Achieving the desired dispersion in water-based or solvent-based emulsions often depends on the physical form of the raw material. Foncepi provides carnauba wax in flakes, powder, and lumps to suit various manufacturing setups. For powder applications, we maintain specifications of 95% passage through either 100 mesh or 200 mesh, allowing you to select the degree of fineness that aligns with your specific equipment and mixing protocols.
Our focus is to provide a consistent raw material that facilitates efficient integration into your coating production lines. We do not offer pre-emulsified or ready-to-use products; instead, we provide the essential wax raw material for your own formulation work. When requesting a quote, please specify your preferred mesh size and physical form to ensure our logistics team aligns the inventory with your manufacturing specifications.
Industrial Packaging and Export Logistics
Packaging for the raw material is designed to maintain product integrity throughout the international transit process. Foncepi offers flexible packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to meet the handling and storage requirements of professional industrial facilities. Our team manages export documentation to ensure compliance and timely dispatch from our production units in Brazil to your global destination.
Your purchase configuration—including the volume, packaging preference, and lead time—is determined during the formal quotation process. We encourage you to clarify your anticipated annual volume and delivery requirements to allow us to provide an accurate proposal. Our logistics coordination is centered on reliability and the safe handling of your supplies throughout the supply chain.
Regulatory Compliance and Material Documentation
For manufacturers in the packaging industry, understanding the origin and characteristics of your raw materials is an essential step in your supplier qualification process. Foncepi operates with transparency, providing the necessary documentation—such as Certificates of Analysis—upon request to support your internal validation procedures. We are committed to maintaining accurate records that reflect the quality of the carnauba wax we export.
We understand that packaging applications may have specific requirements regarding safety and regulatory standards. Our commercial and quality teams are available to discuss the certifications and technical data pertinent to your specific application and local market needs. Initiate your qualification process today by providing our team with the necessary technical requirements and compliance documentation you need for your assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax?
The primary differences lie in the color profile and level of refinement. Type 1 is typically lighter in color, making it suitable for applications where clarity or aesthetic impact is a priority. Type 3 provides functional performance at a different price and color point, suitable for industrial coatings.
Can you explain the particle size specifications for your powder products?
Foncepi offers powder with a 95% passage rate through either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. These are distinct specifications intended to meet different processing requirements. We recommend that your formulation team selects the mesh size that best fits your specific dispersion or melting equipment.
Is your carnauba wax pre-emulsified for immediate use in coatings?
No. Foncepi supplies raw carnauba wax in the form of flakes, powder, or lumps. We do not produce ready-to-use emulsions or finished coating products. Our role is to provide the high-quality raw material necessary for you to develop and manufacture your own proprietary emulsion systems.
What information is required to receive a formal price quote?
To provide an accurate quote, please include the specific wax type, the required form (powder/flakes), the desired particle size (if applicable), the total volume required, and the final destination country. This information allows us to assess availability and provide a tailored commercial proposal.
What documentation is provided to support our material qualification?
We provide standard technical documentation, including the Technical Data Sheet and, upon request, the Certificate of Analysis for specific lots. If your regulatory team requires specific documents for supplier qualification, please detail these needs during the initial inquiry so we can confirm our ability to meet them.
