Foncepi, a member of the RF Group, is a specialized manufacturer and exporter of Carnauba wax with a legacy dating back to 1922. We provide consistent, high-quality botanical wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm to distributors and industrial formulators worldwide. Our operations in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, ensure that our clients receive a standardized raw material that meets the rigorous demands of professional wax additive production.
Selecting the right grade of Carnauba wax is essential for achieving the desired performance in additive systems, whether you require specific melting points or visual characteristics for your final blend. Our team provides technical support to help you navigate our portfolio and align our raw material with your specific processing requirements. Contact us today to discuss your technical specifications and receive a quotation for your volume needs.
Selecting the Optimal Wax Grade for Your Formulations
Our portfolio includes Carnauba wax Types 1, 3, and 4, each offering distinct characteristics that influence the performance of wax additives. Type 1 is often chosen for its lighter color and specific chemical profile, while Type 3 provides a balance of cost and performance suitable for various technical applications. Understanding the unique requirements of your additives—such as melting point, which typically ranges between 80–86 °C—is the first step in our collaborative supply process.
For distributors developing specialized additives, the color profile is a key variable to consider. Our Type 3 wax, for example, features a Gardner color index between 8.10 and 10.50, which may be relevant for specific additive clarity or compatibility needs. We invite you to evaluate our technical documentation to ensure the selected type meets the internal quality standards of your additive production line.
Processing Requirements: Flakes and Powder
We provide Carnauba wax in multiple presentations, including flakes and powder, to accommodate different manufacturing techniques and incorporation methods. For distributors who handle powders, our production process ensures a consistent particle size with 95% passage in either a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen, depending on the requirements of your specific additive formulation. Clear identification of your target mesh size during the inquiry process is critical for our team.
Because different applications demand specific handling, we encourage you to specify the form that best fits your additive integration process. Whether you require standard flakes for melting or finely ground powder for dry blending, our team will verify the availability of your preferred configuration. Please reach out to Foncepi with your specific granulometry needs and application details to move forward with your order.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Solutions
Reliable supply requires packaging that maintains the integrity of the wax from our Brazilian facilities to your warehouse. We offer Carnauba wax in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, ensuring flexibility for various scales of distribution and inventory management. Choosing the appropriate packaging is not only a matter of volume but also a consideration for your facility’s material handling and storage capabilities.
We recognize that distributors often manage complex supply chains, and we are committed to coordinating the logistics for your shipment. While we manage exports from Brazil to major global markets, specific terms, lead times, and packaging preferences will be addressed during the quotation phase. Provide us with your intended volume and logistical requirements so we can tailor our service to your operational structure.
Documentation and Quality Assurance
Technical transparency is fundamental when sourcing Carnauba wax for complex industrial additives. Foncepi maintains rigorous controls over our production processes, providing the documentation required for your quality assessment, including TDS and relevant batch information. We encourage our partners to request the specific technical data needed for their internal homologation, ensuring full compliance with their industrial specifications.
Our commitment to quality is rooted in our long-standing manufacturing history and our adherence to industrial best practices at our Brazilian units. We understand that your reputation as a supplier depends on the reliability of the raw materials you use. When you contact Foncepi, our team will work with you to clarify the necessary documentation and verify that our product aligns with the performance goals of your additives.
