Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, supporting industries globally since 1922. As part of the RF Group, with production facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, we supply high-performance vegetable wax essential for the production of durable and high-shine shoe polishes.
Our expertise allows us to provide specific grades of carnauba wax that meet the technical demands of polish manufacturers, including requirements for hardness, gloss, and solvent compatibility. We invite your technical team to discuss your specific formula needs and request a quote for the grade and format that best suits your production requirements.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Grade for Polish Formulations
The performance of a shoe polish, particularly regarding its buffability and protective coating, often depends on the specific type of carnauba wax utilized. Foncepi offers Tipo 1 and Tipo 3 wax, which are frequently evaluated by manufacturers for their distinct chemical properties, such as acid and saponification values, and their Gardner color profiles.
When selecting between these types, consider how the wax interacts with your solvents and other additives to achieve the desired consistency and finish. Our team can provide information on the typical physical and chemical characteristics of our current lots, allowing your R&D department to perform the necessary compatibility tests for your specific polish formulation.
Physical Forms for Industrial Incorporation
Carnauba wax is available in flakes, powder, or lumps to accommodate different manufacturing processes and melting techniques. For manufacturers requiring a specific particle size, we provide powder with 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh, ensuring the material is prepared for the specific dispersion or dissolution methods employed in your facility.
The choice of physical form should align with your production equipment and processing temperatures. Whether you are creating solvent-based pastes or emulsion-based creams, selecting the correct format helps streamline your manufacturing efficiency. Please specify your preferred physical form when initiating your inquiry so we can confirm current availability and technical compatibility.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Solutions
Reliable raw material sourcing requires packaging that maintains the integrity of the wax from our Brazilian facilities to your manufacturing site. Foncepi provides flexible packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to handle industrial volumes while ensuring safe transportation and easy handling at your location.
We understand that supply chain stability is a critical factor for shoe polish manufacturers. When requesting a quotation, please advise on your volume requirements, as this information is essential for defining the most efficient logistics arrangement and packaging configuration for your business needs.
Technical Documentation and Quality Evaluation
For manufacturers, the standardization and quality of raw materials are paramount to maintaining the consistency of the finished shoe polish. We facilitate the procurement process by providing relevant technical documentation, such as Certificates of Analysis (COA) for specific lots, allowing your quality control team to verify the product against your internal specifications.
To begin the qualification process, we encourage you to share your requirements regarding the intended application and necessary documentation. Our team is available to discuss how our current specifications align with your needs, helping you integrate our high-quality Brazilian carnauba wax into your standard production procedures.
Conclusion
Foncepi remains committed to providing the consistency and quality that industrial shoe polish manufacturers expect from a long-standing producer of carnauba wax. By understanding your specific technical requirements, we help ensure that the raw material selected supports the efficacy and quality of your final products.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I determine if Tipo 1 or Tipo 3 is better for my shoe polish?
The choice between Tipo 1 and Tipo 3 often depends on the required color and purity profile of your polish. We recommend reviewing the Gardner color range and chemical parameters of both types to see which aligns best with your formulation’s appearance and performance targets.
What is the difference between 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder?
The mesh size refers to the particle fineness, where 200 mesh is a finer powder than 100 mesh, based on the percentage of product that passes through the corresponding sieve. The choice depends on your specific dissolution or dispersion method in your polish manufacturing process.
Does Foncepi provide samples for laboratory testing?
Requests for samples are handled as part of our commercial evaluation process. Please contact our sales team with your project details and specific requirements, and we will advise on our current policies regarding sample availability and international shipment for your quality assurance testing.
What information should I include in a request for quotation?
To receive an accurate quote, please provide the specific grade of carnauba wax needed, the physical form (flakes or powder), the desired mesh if applicable, the estimated order volume, and the final destination for delivery. This allows us to provide a comprehensive response tailored to your needs.
Can I receive the SDS and technical specifications for your carnauba wax?
Yes, our commercial team can provide technical data sheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS) for our products. Please contact us with your request, and we will ensure your regulatory and quality teams receive the necessary documentation to evaluate our raw materials for your manufacturing operations.
