Foncepi is a premier Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of natural carnauba wax, operating since 1922 as part of the RF Group. We supply raw materials for diverse industrial sectors, including textile finishing manufacturers seeking the unique properties of Copernicia prunifera wax for surface treatments and technical coatings. Our production units in Brazil ensure a consistent supply of vegetable wax tailored to the specific needs of modern industrial formulations.
Selecting the right wax grade is critical for achieving the desired finish and performance in textile applications. Whether you are developing specific surface treatments or protective coatings, our team can assist in evaluating the technical specifications that align with your manufacturing requirements. Contact us with your project specifications and volume estimates to request a formal quote for your industrial needs.
Technical Selection for Textile Finishing
Carnauba wax is recognized for its high melting point and hardness, which are essential attributes for textile finishing agents that require durability and resistance to wear. Our portfolio includes Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 waxes, each offering distinct characteristics that may be evaluated based on the color requirements and specific processing conditions of your finishing formulation.
Because the final finish on textiles depends on the compatibility of the wax with other chemical components, we provide the necessary technical data for your laboratory testing. Our team can assist you in comparing the melting range and acidity indices of our available grades to ensure they meet your internal standards for surface modification or protective coating applications.
Physical Formats and Incorporation
We offer our carnauba wax in various physical formats, including flakes, powder, and lumps, designed to facilitate the incorporation process in different industrial environments. For manufacturers requiring high surface area for faster dispersion, our powder options are available in specific granulometries, such as 95% passage through a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve.
Selecting the appropriate form depends on your specific dissolution or dispersion methods. We recommend that our technical partners review how the physical state of the raw material integrates with their current mixing or heating equipment. Please specify the preferred format and granulometry when requesting documentation to ensure the material aligns with your production workflow.
Packaging and Industrial Supply
Foncepi provides flexible packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, to accommodate varying scales of industrial demand. These packaging standards are designed to protect the integrity of the wax during transport from our Brazilian facilities to your manufacturing site, ensuring that the material arrives in optimal condition for your processing line.
Logistics and packaging requirements are finalized during the commercial evaluation of your request. Whether your operations involve large-scale batches or specific handling constraints, our team works to define the configuration that best serves your operational requirements. Please include your estimated annual or per-batch consumption volume when initiating contact to streamline the quotation process.
Compliance and Documentation
As a producer of natural wax, Foncepi is committed to providing the documentation necessary for industrial homologation. We understand that textile finishing manufacturers must often meet rigorous internal quality controls and regulatory standards. Our team can provide essential technical documentation, including the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for specific lots, to help you verify the consistency of our raw material.
We invite your quality and regulatory teams to discuss the specific documentation required for your approval process. By clarifying the intended application and the parameters most relevant to your formula, you enable our commercial team to provide the precise technical data and specifications needed to move forward with your evaluation and procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main differences between the wax types offered for textile applications?
The main differences between Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 waxes involve their physical properties, such as color and purity levels. Type 1 is often lighter in color compared to Type 3 and Type 4. Your choice should depend on the specific color and performance requirements of your textile finishing formulation.
Can Foncepi provide powder in specific mesh sizes for my dispersion process?
Yes, we supply powder with a specification of 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. Please note that these are distinct options rather than interchangeable specifications. You should select the granulometry that best suits the dispersion equipment and requirements of your specific textile finishing process.
What information should I provide to receive an accurate price quote?
To receive an accurate quote, please inform us of the specific wax type (Type 1, 3, or 4), the physical format (flakes or powder), the required granulometry, your estimated purchase volume, and the final destination. This data allows us to provide a proposal tailored to your industrial project.
How is the carnauba wax packaged for international shipping?
We typically supply our wax in 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags to ensure safe handling and transportation. The specific packaging solution for your order will be determined during the commercial discussion, based on your facility's receiving capabilities and the total volume of your purchase.
How can I request a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for a specific lot?
You can request technical documentation, including the COA, by contacting our commercial team via email. When reaching out, please specify your intended application and the type of wax you are evaluating so we can provide the relevant technical data for your internal quality and homologation procedures.
