Please contact our team with your application requirements and projected volume to initiate a commercial inquiry.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Rubber Additives
Choosing the appropriate carnauba wax grade is critical for ensuring the desired performance of your rubber processing additive. We offer Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 carnauba wax, each providing unique color characteristics and analytical parameters that influence the final formulation. Evaluating the compatibility of these grades with your specific rubber compounds is the first step in our professional collaboration.
The color Gardner index and impurity levels vary between grades, which may impact the aesthetic or functional requirements of your additive. Whether you prioritize a lighter, more refined grade or a standard industrial variety, we provide the necessary technical data for your development and quality control departments to validate the raw material before integration into your production line.
Physical Forms for Industrial Incorporation
We supply carnauba wax in flakes, powder, and lumps to suit various manufacturing processes within the rubber additive industry. The physical state of the wax directly affects the ease of melting, mixing, and dispersion within your formulation. Our production facilities maintain rigorous quality control to ensure that each form meets the standard specifications required by industrial clients.
For manufacturers requiring specific particle sizes, our powdered carnauba wax is available with 95% passage in 100 mesh or 200 mesh. Identifying the correct mesh size is essential for optimizing your specific blending process. We encourage you to discuss your preferred format and granulometry when requesting a quotation to ensure the delivered product aligns with your mechanical processing needs.
Technical Specifications and Quality Documentation
As a supplier of raw materials, Foncepi provides analytical data that supports the technical qualification of our carnauba wax. Key parameters, such as a melting range between 80–86 °C, moisture levels below 1.00%, and consistent acid and saponification indices, are monitored to maintain product integrity. These specifications serve as a benchmark for your formulation stability and performance testing.
Our team is prepared to assist your regulatory and quality assurance departments by providing the relevant documentation for your vendor qualification process.
