Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, operating since 1922 as part of the RF Group. We supply high-quality vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm to global industries requiring precise raw material standards. As a specialized supplier, we offer Type 1 carnauba wax in a 200 mesh powder format, designed for consistent integration into various industrial manufacturing processes.

Selecting the right grade and granulometry is essential for achieving the performance requirements of your specific application. Our team is prepared to assist procurement and R&D professionals in evaluating technical parameters to ensure the material aligns with your production standards. Please contact our commercial department to request a quote for your project, specifying your required volume and technical needs.

Technical Specifications for Type 1 Carnauba Wax Powder

Type 1 carnauba wax is recognized for its high purity and light color profile, making it a standard choice for applications where appearance and consistent chemical properties are critical. Our Type 1 wax is processed to meet strict technical benchmarks, including a melting point range of 80–86 °C and an acid value between 2–7 mg KOH/g. These parameters are fundamental for industrial formulators assessing the performance of the raw material within their specific formulations.

When sourcing 200 mesh powder, stability and uniformity are key priorities for our production controls. We ensure that our powder is manufactured with 95% passage through a 200 mesh screen, providing a fine granulometry suitable for processes that require efficient dispersion. We invite your technical team to review our current data sheets to confirm how these specifications support your formulation objectives and quality control protocols.

Granulometry and Processing Considerations

The 200 mesh powder format is specifically produced to offer a fine particle distribution for manufacturers needing enhanced material incorporation. By maintaining a 95% passage rate through a 200 mesh screen, we provide a product that serves as a consistent input for industries ranging from cosmetics to high-performance coatings and specialized industrial polishes. Proper handling of fine powders is essential to optimize your manufacturing efficiency.

It is important to note that particle size distribution is a tool for professional formulators to manage the physical interaction of the wax within a system. While the 200 mesh configuration provides a specific fineness, the suitability of this format depends on the individual requirements of your production machinery and the nature of your end product. We encourage clients to consult with their technical teams to determine if this granulometry meets the necessary dispersion criteria for their specific process.

Supply and Logistics for Industrial Buyers

Foncepi manages the export of carnauba wax from our Brazilian facilities directly to international markets, ensuring that our logistical processes meet the requirements of industrial-scale procurement. We offer flexible packaging solutions, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, to accommodate different supply chain models. Whether your organization requires regular shipments or specific cargo configurations, our logistics team works to facilitate the export process.

The feasibility of your order, including minimum quantity requirements and lead times, is defined during the quotation process. As a manufacturer committed to providing reliable raw materials, we prioritize clear communication regarding supply availability and packaging options. We recommend that your procurement team provides detailed information about your volume needs and preferred incoterms to facilitate an accurate assessment and timely proposal.

Documentation and Regulatory Assessment

Professional buyers must ensure that all raw materials are supported by the necessary documentation for their specific industry sector. Upon request, we provide the relevant technical information, such as TDS and COA, to help your quality and regulatory departments conduct a thorough assessment of our Type 1 carnauba wax. Having access to these documents is a standard step in the validation process for any industrial formulation.

We do not provide universal regulatory assurances, as each application—whether in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or industrial coatings—may require unique compliance criteria. Our focus is to provide a transparent technical foundation so that your team can verify the material's suitability for your intended use. Please reach out to us with your specific documentation requirements to ensure that our product meets the necessary standards for your operation.

Conclusion

Foncepi remains a reliable partner for companies seeking premium Brazilian carnauba wax for industrial use. By prioritizing quality and technical precision in our Type 1 200 mesh powder, we support the demanding needs of global manufacturers and professional formulators.
