Foncepi is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter with expertise in Carnauba wax production since 1922. As a key supplier for the industrial sector, we provide premium-grade vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm, specifically supporting manufacturers of printing inks and specialized wax emulsions who require high-performance raw materials.
For processors involved in printing ink formulations or the development of wax emulsions, selecting the right raw material is essential for achieving the desired gloss, slip, and rub resistance in the final product. We invite you to review our technical specifications and contact our team to discuss your current production requirements and raw material needs.
Selecting Carnauba Wax for Printing Ink Formulations
Carnauba wax is widely recognized in the ink industry for its ability to provide excellent surface protection and gloss enhancement. When integrating our wax into printing ink systems, manufacturers can rely on our consistent Type 1 and Type 3 grades to meet their performance targets in rub resistance and slip properties during the printing process.
Our technical team supports manufacturers by providing consistent product parameters, such as melting range and acid value, which are crucial for stable ink dispersions. Whether your formulation targets flexographic or gravure printing, we ensure that the raw material supplied aligns with the rigorous standards of your production environment.
Raw Material Specifications for Emulsion Manufacturers
Manufacturers of wax emulsions depend on precise raw material control to ensure long-term stability and compatibility in their formulations. Foncepi supplies Carnauba wax in various physical forms, allowing for efficient processing and dispersion. Our products serve as the foundational ingredient for water-based or solvent-based emulsions used across diverse industrial applications.
To ensure your emulsion process performs optimally, we provide detailed technical documentation and lot-specific data upon request. We encourage R&D and quality assurance professionals to share their specific formulation requirements, so we can assist in evaluating the most suitable wax grade for your specific emulsion chemistry and technical targets.
Technical Precision in Powder and Flake Formats
The physical format of the Carnauba wax—whether in flakes or powder—plays a significant role in the ease of incorporation into your manufacturing process. We offer consistent particle sizes for our powder formats, ensuring that your production cycles remain efficient while maintaining the integrity of the wax components.
For those requiring powder, we produce options with 95% passage in 100 mesh or 200 mesh, depending on the specific dispersion needs of your ink or emulsion recipe. By communicating your preferred format and the required granulometry, you ensure that the raw material delivered to your facility is ready to meet your specific processing criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Foncepi provide technical documentation for Carnauba wax used in ink formulations?
Yes. We can provide technical data sheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) to assist in your evaluation process. We encourage R&D and quality professionals to reach out and discuss the specific documentation required for your quality assurance and regulatory approval procedures.
What are the differences between Type 1 and Type 3 wax for emulsion production?
Type 1 and Type 3 differ primarily in their color profile, measured on the Gardner scale. The choice between these types depends on your final product's requirements regarding color appearance. Our team can provide the specific Gardner values to help you choose the best match for your formulation.
What is the difference between the 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder options?
The mesh size refers to the particle size distribution, with 95% passage through the specific screen. Choosing between 100 mesh and 200 mesh depends on your internal milling or dispersion capabilities. Please confirm your process needs so we can suggest the most appropriate granularity for your equipment.
Is the Carnauba wax suitable for both solvent-based and water-based ink systems?
Carnauba wax is a versatile raw material used in various ink technologies. Its success depends on your specific ink formulation and the compatibility of the wax with other additives. We invite you to discuss your system type so we can provide the relevant technical specifications for your evaluation.
