Technical Profile of Type 1 Carnauba Wax

Type 1 carnauba wax is recognized for its purity and specific aesthetic properties, often utilized when color and clarity are key requirements in a formulation. Foncepi maintains rigorous standards to ensure that our Type 1 flakes meet the necessary chemical and physical benchmarks expected by industrial customers, such as a melting range between 80–86 °C and an acid value ranging from 2–7 mg KOH/g.

Our production process focuses on delivering a raw material that integrates seamlessly into your manufacturing lines. The Gardner color scale for our Type 1 flakes typically ranges from 3.50 to 5.50, providing a reliable reference for transparency and visual consistency. We encourage you to request our current technical data sheet to confirm that these parameters align with your specific quality control requirements.

Flakes Presentation and Processing

Carnauba wax in flakes is a preferred format for many manufacturers due to its ease of handling, weighing, and melting during the production of blends, emulsions, and coatings. The flake geometry facilitates a steady melting rate, which is advantageous for industries that require precise control over the heating phase of their manufacturing process.

When receiving our 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags, your technical team should evaluate the material’s compatibility with your existing melting equipment. Since we provide the wax as a raw ingredient, ensuring that your facility’s parameters match the physical characteristics of our flakes is a standard step in the qualification process. We invite you to discuss your preferred packaging configuration and logistics needs during your inquiry.

Industrial Applications and Raw Material Requirements

Carnauba wax serves as a functional ingredient across a wide array of sectors, including the production of polishes, pharmaceutical coatings, and food-grade barriers. Because Foncepi supplies this wax as a raw material, we work with formulation teams to provide the documentation necessary to evaluate its performance within your specific system, whether for automotive protective waxes or decorative cosmetic products.

Your application’s success relies on the consistent sourcing of high-quality vegetal wax. If you are developing a new formulation or qualifying a new supplier for an existing product, providing us with your specific technical requirements allows our team to better assist in the selection of the appropriate wax type. We provide the raw material, while you retain the expertise to formulate your end product for the market.
