Foncepi, an established Brazilian manufacturer and exporter with operations since 1922, provides high-quality vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm. As a reliable supplier for industrial applications, we offer Carnauba Wax Type 3 in powder form, specifically calibrated for manufacturing requirements that demand consistent raw material sourcing. Our production, integrated into the RF Group, utilizes facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, to meet the needs of international markets.

Selecting the appropriate granulometry is essential for optimizing your formulation processes and achieving the desired integration of raw materials. Our 100 mesh powder is processed to ensure that 95% of the product passes through the specified sieve, providing a consistent texture for various industrial applications. We invite you to contact us with your application and estimated purchase volume to discuss how our current specification aligns with your technical requirements.

Technical Specifications for Type 3 Powder

Carnauba Wax Type 3 is recognized for its versatility in industrial formulations, characterized by a distinct color profile with a Gardner index typically ranging between 8.10 and 10.50. This grade serves as a standard raw material for manufacturers who require specific physical properties, such as a melting point between 80–86 °C and an acid value between 2–7 mg KOH/g. These parameters are fundamental for professionals in R&D and quality control when evaluating the suitability of the wax for their specific final products.

By choosing Foncepi as your supplier, you gain access to a controlled production environment where quality parameters are consistently monitored. While our documentation provides the standard ranges for moisture, acidity, and color, we recommend that formulary teams request the current Certificate of Analysis (COA) for specific lots. Understanding these technical benchmarks is the first step in ensuring that our raw material integrates seamlessly into your existing production protocols.

Granulometry and Processing Considerations

The 100 mesh powder format is designed to facilitate consistent distribution within your formulations, supporting tasks that range from industrial coatings and polishes to specific manufacturing processes. Achieving a 95% passage through a 100 mesh sieve provides the particle profile necessary for efficient incorporation into mixtures. It is important to note that the granulometry is a structural characteristic of the input and should be evaluated against your specific mixing or dispersing equipment.

When integrating powdered carnauba wax, manufacturers must consider the compatibility of the particle size with their heating, mixing, or milling stages. Foncepi provides the material as an industrial input, and we rely on the expertise of your engineering and formulation departments to determine the optimal handling methods. Please inform us of your specific processing needs so that our team can provide the relevant technical data for your internal assessment.

Packaging and Export Logistics

To accommodate the diverse logistics needs of our global partners, Foncepi offers flexible packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These formats are designed to ensure the integrity of the wax during transport and to simplify inventory management upon receipt. As a Brazilian manufacturer, we are experienced in handling the requirements of international shipments to various markets, ensuring that our products reach your facility in appropriate condition.

While our production capacity and packaging configurations support bulk supply, each order is subject to availability and scheduling. We encourage you to clarify your packaging preferences early in the inquiry process, as this allows our commercial team to provide accurate information regarding logistics, lead times, and the scope of supply for your specific destination. Establishing these details upfront ensures a smooth procurement experience.
