Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax, a natural vegetal raw material derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm, to support the requirements of wax-based ribbon manufacturers. With a solid foundation in the industry since 1922, our company operates in Brazil, ensuring consistent production standards for global partners who rely on high-performance raw materials for thermal transfer applications.
Selecting the right grade and physical form of carnauba wax is essential for the effective formulation of ribbon coatings. Whether you are focusing on specific melting points or material consistency, our team is prepared to assist you in aligning our supply with your technical requirements. Please contact us to discuss the specific parameters required for your ribbon manufacturing process and receive a tailored proposal.
Technical Specifications for Thermal Transfer Applications
The performance of wax-based ribbons often depends on the uniformity and purity of the natural wax incorporated into the formulation. Foncepi supplies Tipo 1, Tipo 3, and Tipo 4 grades, each defined by distinct technical parameters such as melting ranges between 80–86 °C, acidity indexes, and specific color Gardner profiles. These variations allow manufacturers to select the appropriate grade that balances thermal sensitivity and mechanical resistance in their final products.
We encourage technical teams to analyze these parameters in relation to their current development needs. While general specifications serve as a reference, we provide documentation for the specific lots available to ensure that your formulation process remains stable and consistent. Request our technical data sheets to verify how our grades align with your project requirements.
Forms and Particle Size for Ribbon Formulation
Our carnauba wax is available in various forms, including flakes and powder, to facilitate different mixing and dispersion methods. For processes requiring fine particle distribution, we provide powder with specific mesh granulometry, such as 95% passing through a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. Ensuring that the raw material matches your equipment’s dispersion capabilities is a critical step in the ribbon manufacturing workflow.
Choosing between forms—such as the ease of handling flakes or the incorporation efficiency of powder—depends heavily on your specific milling or coating line. We recommend discussing your processing requirements with us to determine which presentation best serves your production facility. We are available to provide guidance on the available options and help you coordinate the best format for your supply needs.
Logistics and Bulk Supply Management
Foncepi handles the export of carnauba wax from our Brazilian facilities to various international markets, including the United States. We offer standard packaging options such as 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to maintain the integrity of the wax during transport. These packaging solutions are intended to assist in the efficient management of your inventory and warehouse logistics.
The total volume of your order, along with the required packaging, will be confirmed during the quoting process to ensure compliance with your operational standards. As we facilitate international exports, we invite procurement professionals to initiate a dialogue regarding expected lead times and shipping configurations. Contact us to provide your estimated annual purchase volume and logistical preferences.
Quality Documentation and Regulatory Compliance
For manufacturers in the thermal transfer ribbon sector, verifying that raw materials meet internal quality standards is a fundamental component of procurement. Foncepi focuses on providing the necessary technical documentation—including TDS, SDS, and batch-specific analysis—to support the validation of our wax in your formulations. Clear documentation ensures transparency throughout the supply chain and assists in your quality assurance procedures.
We emphasize that the selection of the correct grade of carnauba wax should always be based on your specific application tests and compliance needs. By providing accurate information about your product's requirements early in the communication process, you help us ensure that the supplied documentation aligns with your verification criteria. Request your necessary documentation and product samples through our official channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between the available carnauba wax grades for ribbon manufacturing?
The main differences lie in the chemical and physical parameters, such as the color Gardner and the acidity index. Tipo 1 is known for its lighter color profile, while Tipo 3 offers a distinct range suitable for various industrial applications. We recommend reviewing the TDS of each grade to ensure compatibility.
Can Foncepi provide powder in both 100 mesh and 200 mesh?
Yes, we offer powder with 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. It is important to specify which granulometry your manufacturing equipment requires for effective dispersion. Please clarify your preference during your inquiry so we can verify current availability for your production needs.
How should I request a quote for my ribbon production line?
To request a quote, please send an email to carnaubawax@foncepi.com.br. Include details such as the specific grade required (Tipo 1, 3, or 4), the physical form (powder or flakes), the target granulometry, the desired volume, and the final destination. This information allows us to provide a precise response.
Are there specific technical documents available for the wax lots?
Yes, we provide Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for our products. Upon discussing your application and requirements with our commercial team, we can provide the relevant documents necessary for your technical qualification and validation processes.
What packaging options are available for industrial-scale supply?
We offer packaging in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. The choice between these options generally depends on your storage capabilities and material handling processes. We recommend discussing your logistical requirements with our team to ensure the selected packaging meets your facility's operational needs.
