Whether you are integrating our Type 1 lumps into high-performance coatings or specialized industrial blends, our team is prepared to assist you in evaluating your material requirements. Please contact our commercial department to discuss your specific technical needs and receive a formal quotation.

Technical Specifications for Type 1 Carnauba Wax

Type 1 carnauba wax is recognized for its light color and high purity, which are critical for applications where visual consistency and performance are non-negotiable. Our Type 1 grade typically presents a Gardner color range between 3.50 and 5.50, offering the clarity required for high-end formulations.

Beyond color, our production maintains strict physical parameters to ensure raw material consistency. The wax exhibits a melting point between 80–86 °C, with an acidity index of 2–7 mg KOH/g and a saponification index of 78–95 mg KOH/g. We recommend that technical teams review these specifications against their internal formulation requirements to ensure compatibility with their processing conditions.

Advantages of the Lumps Format

The lumps presentation of carnauba wax is particularly favored in industrial environments where raw material melting or controlled dispersion is required. By supplying the wax in its solid lump form, Foncepi provides a product that maintains its integrity during storage and handling, suitable for automated feeding systems or large-scale melting vats.

While powder and flakes are common in different sectors, the lumps format remains a primary choice for manufacturers who prefer to manage their own milling or melting processes to meet specific particle size or incorporation needs. We invite you to clarify your manufacturing process with our team so we can provide the appropriate technical data for your production line.

Sourcing and Supply Chain Considerations

Foncepi operates modern production units in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, enabling us to manage the supply chain from the harvest of the Copernicia prunifera palm to the final export phase. As a major exporter, we facilitate the international delivery of bulk raw materials to our global client base, ensuring the wax is prepared according to the required documentation for each market.

Regarding availability and order volume, we operate based on specific quotes that consider the logistical demands of your destination. Because market availability and specific batch requirements can vary, we encourage prospective buyers to share their estimated annual consumption or specific project requirements to facilitate a precise discussion on supply feasibility.

Quality Documentation and Procurement

Quality assurance starts with clear communication between your R&D or procurement teams and our technical staff. We provide necessary documentation, such as Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Technical Data Sheets (TDS), to assist in your homologation process. Understanding the regulatory requirements of your target industry is a key step in evaluating our wax for your specific product line.

To initiate the procurement process, we request that you provide details regarding your industrial application, the volume intended for your current cycle, and any specific regulatory standards your final product must meet. Once these details are established, our team will be able to offer guidance on the documentation and availability for your requested order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Type 1 carnauba wax differ from other grades in the Foncepi portfolio?

Type 1 is characterized primarily by its lighter color profile, typically ranging from 3.50 to 5.50 on the Gardner scale. This makes it an ideal choice for formulations where transparency or aesthetic appeal is required, whereas other types may offer different color profiles suited to alternative industrial applications.

Can Foncepi provide documentation to assist with my internal quality homologation process?

Yes, Foncepi provides necessary technical documentation, including the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Certificate of Analysis (COA), upon request. We recommend that your quality or regulatory team contacts us to specify which documents are required for your internal homologation and material approval process.

Is the lumps form of carnauba wax suitable for all types of industrial processing?

Lumps are generally preferred by manufacturers who intend to melt the wax or perform their own mechanical processing. If your formulation requires pre-ground material or specific particle sizes, please consult our team to ensure that our lump-form product meets your specific integration and processing requirements.

What information should I provide to receive an accurate quote for Type 1 lumps?

To provide an accurate quote, please include your specific industrial application, the total volume of your request, and the final destination. Sharing these details allows our team to provide precise information regarding product availability, logistics, and the relevant documentation necessary for your purchase.

Are Foncepi’s products consistent in their physical and chemical parameters?

We maintain rigorous control over our production processes in Brazil to ensure that our wax adheres to established specifications, including moisture content, melting range, and acid value.
