Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax as a fundamental raw material for manufacturers involved in the production of protective packaging sheet coatings. With a tradition of expertise since 1922, our company operates as a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter, supplying industrial-grade wax to global markets. We support your development process by offering consistent raw materials tailored to the technical requirements of industrial coating systems and surface protection formulations.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is a critical step in achieving the desired functionality in packaging sheet applications. Our technical team works closely with procurement and R&D professionals to align our production capabilities with your specific formulation criteria, including melting point and physical presentation. We invite you to contact us with your project requirements to discuss how our current inventory can support your industrial production.
Technical Specifications for Coating Formulations
The performance of packaging sheet coatings often relies on the precise balance of thermal and physical properties provided by natural carnauba wax. Foncepi offers refined grades, such as Type 1 and Type 3, which are frequently evaluated for their specific Gardner color ranges, moisture content, and chemical indices. These parameters are essential for formulators seeking to ensure compatibility with synthetic resins, solvents, or aqueous bases commonly used in high-performance coatings.
Evaluating the chemical profile of our wax allows manufacturers to maintain consistency in their own production lines. While standard ranges for melting points typically fall between 80–86 °C, our technical documentation provides the specific data points for each available lot. We encourage customers to request the latest Technical Data Sheet (TDS) to verify how our material integrates with your current coating additives and performance standards.
Optimizing Physical Forms for Industrial Processing
Incorporating carnauba wax into a coating matrix requires the correct physical form to ensure efficient dispersion or dissolution within your system. Foncepi provides the wax in flakes, powder, and lumps to suit various manufacturing processes, from hot-melt applications to solvent-based dispersions. The choice between these presentations is often determined by the specific shear conditions, mixing equipment, and thermal capacity of your facility.
For powder applications, we provide material with defined granulometry, such as 95% passage in 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. These specifications are designed to assist in achieving the required surface uniformity in coated sheets. When planning your procurement, specify the required particle size and the incorporation method used in your process so that we can assist in identifying the most suitable format from our available inventory.
Logistics and Bulk Supply Requirements
Foncepi handles the export of carnauba wax to international markets, ensuring that our bulk supply reaches manufacturers through secure logistics channels. We provide flexible packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to facilitate efficient handling and storage at your production site. These presentations support both pilot-scale trials and large-scale industrial manufacturing, depending on the current availability of our output.
Establishing a supply agreement requires clear communication regarding your volume needs and preferred packaging configuration. As an exporter based in Brazil, we coordinate with your supply chain teams to ensure the timely fulfillment of your order. Please contact our commercial department to discuss your requirements for shipment volume and to verify the availability of specific packaging formats for your next production cycle.
Quality Assurance and Regulatory Documentation
Compliance and documentation are essential for manufacturers of packaging coatings, particularly those intended for food-contact applications. Foncepi provides the necessary documentation to support your internal qualification process, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for our current product lots. These documents are vital for your quality and regulatory teams to assess the suitability of our raw materials for your specific packaging end-use.
We emphasize the importance of requesting specific documentation during the initial stages of your evaluation. Our commitment to transparency ensures that you have access to the information required to validate our carnauba wax within your proprietary coating formulations. If you require specific technical certification or testing data for your regional regulatory needs, please include these requirements in your initial inquiry to our sales team.
Conclusion
Foncepi remains dedicated to supplying high-quality Brazilian carnauba wax for industrial applications in the packaging sector. By focusing on consistent technical specifications and professional export standards, we assist manufacturers in maintaining the integrity and performance of their coating sheet formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between the wax grades available for coating applications?
We offer Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, which vary primarily in their Gardner color indices. Type 1 is generally lighter in color compared to Type 3. The selection depends on the specific aesthetic or functional requirements of your coating formulation, which your R&D team can evaluate using our TDS.
Can Foncepi supply powder wax in specific mesh sizes?
Yes, we offer powder forms with 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. These specifications are intended to facilitate the integration of our wax into your coating systems. Please confirm the particle size required for your specific equipment when requesting a formal quote.
How should I request the necessary documentation for quality qualification?
You can request documentation such as the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) by contacting our commercial team via email. Providing your specific application and the batch number of interest helps us ensure we send the most relevant data for your qualification process.
What packaging options are available for international export?
Our products are available in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. The choice of packaging depends on your facility's storage capacity and handling requirements. Please indicate your preferred packaging size in your initial inquiry so we can include this in our commercial proposal.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for international shipments?
Minimum order quantities and availability are determined during the quotation process based on your destination and the specific product requirements. We recommend providing your estimated volume and port of destination to our team to receive an accurate assessment of supply conditions and logistical feasibility.
