Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of premium Carnauba wax, providing raw material solutions for industries worldwide since 1922. As part of the RF Group, we process Copernicia prunifera to meet the specific requirements of chemical and industrial formulators, including those developing advanced powder coating systems.

Selecting the right wax grade is essential for achieving the desired finish, flow, and mechanical properties in your formulations. We invite you to evaluate our portfolio of Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 waxes to determine which specification best aligns with your technical objectives. Please contact us to discuss the specific parameters required for your powder coating development and to request a formal quotation.

Technical Specifications for Powder Coating Formulations

The performance of a powder coating depends heavily on the consistency of its raw materials. Foncepi offers Carnauba wax with well-defined physical properties, including a typical melting range of 80–86 °C, controlled moisture levels not exceeding 1.00%, and specific acid and saponification values. These parameters are crucial for formulators balancing surface hardness and thermal stability in coating resins.

When evaluating our wax for your specific coating project, we recommend reviewing our current technical data sheets. Understanding the Gardner color and chemical indices of our Type 1 and Type 3 options allows your R&D team to verify compatibility with existing binders and additives. We provide the documentation necessary to assist your quality control team in their assessment process.

Granulometry and Material Handling

For powder coating manufacturers, the physical form of the wax—whether flakes or powder—is vital for efficient incorporation and dispersion. We provide wax in various forms, including powder options that meet strict granulometry standards, such as 95% passage through 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. This consistency helps in maintaining uniform distribution within your dry-blend processes.

Choosing between 100 mesh or 200 mesh depends on your specific milling or mixing equipment and the particle size distribution of your final product. We recommend consulting with your internal processing team to identify the most suitable format for your production line. Our team is available to confirm current availability of these specific mesh grades for your industrial trial.

Bulk Supply and Industrial Packaging

Foncepi supports industrial operations by providing reliable packaging options tailored to your logistics requirements. We offer Carnauba wax in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to protect the integrity of the material during transit and storage. Selecting the correct packaging format is an integral part of optimizing your supply chain and handling procedures.

Whether you require smaller quantities for formulation testing or larger bulk shipments for continuous production, our team is prepared to discuss your needs. We define minimum order quantities and logistical arrangements based on your specific volume and destination. We encourage you to share your estimated annual consumption so we can align our export planning with your operational timeline.

Quality Documentation and Procurement Process

As an export-focused manufacturer, Foncepi understands the importance of traceability and regulatory compliance in the chemical industry. We work closely with our partners to provide the necessary documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) for specific lots, to support your internal validation processes. Transparency regarding the origin and processing of our wax is a cornerstone of our service.

Initiating a partnership begins with a clear understanding of your technical requirements. We invite procurement and quality professionals to reach out directly to our commercial team. By providing your target application, desired wax type, and preferred packaging, you help us streamline the qualification process and provide an accurate proposal for your industrial needs.
