Foncepi, a member of the RF Group with operations dating back to 1922, is a specialized manufacturer and exporter of Brazilian carnauba wax. As a dedicated supplier of vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm, we serve global industrial markets that require precise raw material specifications for complex formulations. We provide Type 3 carnauba wax in powder form, tailored to meet the rigorous standards of our B2B partners across various sectors.

Selecting the correct grade and granulometry is essential for ensuring the consistency of your industrial processes. Our Type 3 powder, processed to a 200 mesh specification, offers a consistent particle size profile for manufacturers requiring specific surface characteristics or dispersion properties. Please contact our commercial team to discuss your current production requirements and initiate a formal quotation.

Technical Specifications for Type 3 Powder

Carnauba wax Type 3 is recognized for its specific aesthetic and physical properties, characterized by a Gardner color range between 8.10 and 10.50. When supplied as a 200 mesh powder, it meets our internal quality standard of 95% passage through the specified sieve, facilitating integration into various industrial matrices. These parameters are fundamental for evaluating the wax's compatibility with your existing formulation benchmarks.

Beyond color and granulometry, our technical data for Type 3 wax includes a melting range of 80–86 °C, with an acidity index between 2–7 mg KOH/g and a saponification index of 78–95 mg KOH/g. Because these values can vary by batch, we provide the corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA) upon request to ensure your quality department can conduct a thorough evaluation of the raw material before full-scale manufacturing.

Processing and Granulometry Consistency

The 200 mesh powder format is designed for industrial applications that require a fine particle size to optimize interaction within the blend. By maintaining a 95% passage rate through the 200 mesh screen, we provide a consistent raw material that supports your process stability. Our manufacturing facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, utilize controlled processing methods to reach this granulometric profile while preserving the inherent properties of the natural carnauba wax.

We do not treat different mesh sizes as interchangeable, as the particle distribution significantly impacts the rheology and final performance of your products. Whether you are working with coatings, polishes, or specialized chemical formulations, the selection of the correct mesh is a critical factor in your R&D phase. We encourage you to define your specific processing needs clearly when reaching out to our team.

Supply and Logistics for Industrial Buyers

Foncepi handles international export logistics from Brazil, delivering our carnauba wax to manufacturers and distributors worldwide. Our Type 3 powder is available in standard industrial packaging, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to maintain product integrity during transit. We work closely with our clients to determine the appropriate packaging configuration based on the volume and handling infrastructure of your facility.

The commercial viability of your order, including minimum volume requirements and shipping logistics, is assessed on a per-request basis. We do not apply universal MOQ policies, as export conditions and market destinations dictate the feasibility of each shipment. Providing us with your estimated annual consumption or specific order volume allows us to better assist you with a tailored supply strategy.

Evaluating Raw Material for Your Application

As a raw material supplier, Foncepi supports companies in sectors such as food manufacturing, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial coatings. While our wax is used in diverse applications—ranging from surface protection and polishing to functional ingredient systems—the responsibility for verifying regulatory compliance for your specific end-product remains with your quality and technical departments.

We provide the necessary technical documentation, such as the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS), to assist in your homologation process. If you are developing a new formulation or evaluating a new supplier for your current production line, please submit your technical requirements and intended application. This allows our team to ensure the selected wax type and format align with your project goals.

Conclusion

Foncepi remains committed to providing reliable carnauba wax as a high-quality vegetable-based raw material for global industry. By leveraging our long-standing manufacturing expertise and rigorous attention to batch specifications, we assist industrial partners in achieving consistency in their formulations and production processes.
