Carnauba Wax Type 1 Supplier

Foncepi is a dedicated Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, specialized in providing high-quality raw materials to industrial sectors globally. Operating since 1922 and as part of the RF Group, we leverage our facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, to process and supply prime carnauba wax for various formulations. As a trusted Carnauba Wax Type 1 supplier, we ensure that our production process respects the natural characteristics of the Copernicia prunifera palm to meet the rigorous demands of our commercial partners.

Selecting the right grade of carnauba wax is a critical step for manufacturers in industries ranging from cosmetics to specialty coatings. Type 1 is particularly valued for its lighter color profile, with a Gardner color range between 3.50 and 5.50, making it an essential component for applications where aesthetic clarity and purity are paramount. We invite you to contact our team to discuss your technical requirements and align our available specifications with your current formulation goals.

Quality Standards and Technical Specifications

Carnauba wax is a complex natural material, and its performance depends on strict adherence to chemical parameters. Our Type 1 wax is produced with a melting range of 80–86 °C, low moisture content of maximum 1.00%, and an acid value between 2–7 mg KOH/g. These properties are managed through our internal quality processes to ensure consistency across shipments, allowing your R&D and quality control teams to rely on a stable input for your manufacturing processes.

When evaluating a supplier for your production line, understanding the chemical footprint of the raw material is essential. Our technical documentation supports your internal homologation process by providing data relevant to the typical characteristics of our Type 1 grade. We encourage procurement and regulatory professionals to reach out to our team to request the most recent technical data sheets and discuss how our product specifications integrate into your quality management systems.

Supply Options and Industrial Packaging

The logistics of raw material procurement require reliable packaging solutions that protect the integrity of the wax from our facility to your destination. We offer carnauba wax in various physical forms, including flakes and other presentations, packaged in standard 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags. This flexibility allows us to accommodate different storage capacities and handling requirements within your manufacturing environment, ensuring that your inventory management remains efficient.

We understand that industrial orders demand specific logistics planning. While we provide robust packaging to maintain the quality of the wax during transport, the final configuration of your shipment depends on the total volume and the specific requirements of your facility. Please reach out to our commercial team to clarify your volume needs and packaging preferences, ensuring that our delivery capacity aligns with your production schedules.

Applications for High-Performance Formulations

As a raw material supplier, Foncepi serves a diverse range of industries that require the unique properties of carnauba wax. In the cosmetic industry, Type 1 is often utilized for its film-forming and thickening capabilities in products such as lipsticks, mascaras, and creams. Similarly, in the automotive and industrial coating sectors, our wax is chosen for its hardness and protective finish, providing a durable barrier that enhances the performance of the final formulation.

Each application requires a specific approach to incorporation and testing. Whether you are developing advanced polishes, specialized inks, or protective coatings, our team is prepared to assist you in selecting the correct grade and form to suit your technical needs. We encourage you to share the application context with us, enabling our team to provide the necessary information for your internal validation and testing cycles.

Our export operations are built on a tradition of professional service, ensuring that the necessary documentation and commercial terms are addressed transparently during the negotiation phase. We recognize the importance of timely communication and precise documentation for international industrial trade.

Starting a partnership with us involves a clear evaluation of your procurement criteria and our current production capacity. We do not operate with fixed, universal inventory for all markets, which allows us to manage expectations and provide personalized attention to each commercial request.
