Foncepi, a member of the RF Group with operations dating back to 1922, is a dedicated manufacturer and exporter of Brazilian carnauba wax. We provide high-quality carnauba wax powder in 25 kg bags, specifically designed to meet the rigorous standards of industrial, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food-grade manufacturers. Our production facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, utilize the natural resources of the Copernicia prunifera palm to deliver consistent raw materials for global supply chains.

Selecting the appropriate wax format is essential for the efficiency and final performance of your formulations. Whether you require specific mesh sizes for precise dispersion or standardized technical properties for consistent manufacturing, Foncepi offers the expertise to support your procurement process. Please contact our team with your application details and specific technical requirements to receive a customized commercial proposal.

Technical Specifications for Powdered Carnauba Wax

The physical state of carnauba wax powder is a critical factor for manufacturers integrating this raw material into various formulations. Our powder is processed to meet defined granulometry standards, with options available for 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. These specifications are tailored to ensure that the material maintains its structural integrity while facilitating the desired incorporation levels required by your specific production systems.

When evaluating our wax for your product line, please consider that properties such as a melting range between 80–86 °C, acidity values of 2–7 mg KOH/g, and a maximum moisture content of 1.00% are standard indicators for our commercial types. We recommend that your technical team reviews the specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) for current production lots to ensure alignment with your internal quality control protocols before finalizing your purchase order.

Standardized 25 kg Packaging for Industrial Operations

We offer our carnauba wax powder in 25 kg bags, an industry-standard packaging solution designed to facilitate secure handling, inventory management, and dosage accuracy within your manufacturing environment. This format is particularly suited for facilities that require precise weight measurements during the formulation process, helping to maintain batch consistency while minimizing potential waste or material degradation during storage.

For organizations managing larger throughputs, it is important to verify that your storage infrastructure is compatible with standard industrial bag stacking and handling protocols. While we prioritize the safety and integrity of our shipments, the specific packaging configuration and total order volume will be defined during the quotation process. We encourage you to discuss your logistic requirements and handling constraints with our commercial department to ensure a smooth delivery experience.

Selection Criteria for Industrial Applications

Carnauba wax is a versatile raw material used across a wide range of industries, including cosmetics, food processing, pharmaceutical coatings, and high-performance polishes. Because the requirements for each sector vary significantly—ranging from color parameters for Type 1 and Type 3 waxes to specific purity levels for end-use compliance—it is vital to clearly define the intended application during your initial inquiry. This allows us to provide the most suitable grade from our current portfolio.

It is important to note that the suitability of a specific wax grade depends on its performance within your proprietary formula. We provide the raw material and the corresponding technical documentation, allowing your R&D or quality assurance teams to conduct the necessary testing and validation. If your process requires specific regulatory documentation or testing to verify compliance with local market standards, please include these details in your request for information.

Does Foncepi provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the powder?

Yes, we provide technical documentation, including the Certificate of Analysis, to support your quality assurance process. We encourage you to request the documentation relevant to your specific batch and application to ensure it aligns with your internal regulatory and formulation requirements.

How should I define my requirements for a formal price quote?

To receive an accurate quote, please provide details regarding the wax type (e.g., Type 1 or Type 3), the required granulometry (100 or 200 mesh), the destination country, and your estimated purchase volume. This information allows us to provide a comprehensive response tailored to your business operations.

Are there specific storage recommendations for 25 kg bags of wax powder?

Carnauba wax should be stored in a cool, dry environment, away from direct heat sources to prevent melting or clumping. Maintaining consistent warehouse conditions is essential to preserving the physical properties of the powder until it is incorporated into your final formulation.
