Whether you are formulating confectionery coatings, glazing agents, or other food-grade products, we assist procurement and R&D teams in selecting the correct grade and granulometry for your process. Contact us today to discuss your technical requirements and obtain a formal quotation for our current production batches.
Technical Specifications for Food-Grade Applications
Carnauba wax powder is widely utilized in the food industry for its natural origin and effective film-forming characteristics. When selecting a product for your formulation, it is essential to evaluate parameters such as the melting point, which typically ranges between 80–86 °C, and the acid and saponification values that define the chemical profile of the batch.
As a manufacturer, we offer clear technical specifications to facilitate your internal quality and regulatory approval processes. We invite you to request the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Certificate of Analysis (COA) for our current lots to ensure our wax meets the exact safety and performance criteria required for your specific food product development.
Granulometry and Processing Efficiency
Our carnauba wax powder is supplied with a specific particle size distribution, featuring 95% passage through a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen. This granulometry is a critical factor for manufacturers looking to achieve efficient dispersion within their specific mixing or coating equipment. Choosing between these alternatives should be based on your process’s internal validation and the desired final consistency.
We focus on providing consistent raw material that supports your production objectives without compromising the integrity of your formulation. Please define your required mesh specification when requesting a quote, as this allows our team to confirm current availability and align our supply with your operational needs.
Logistics and Packaging Options
To support industrial-scale operations, Foncepi provides carnauba wax in standardized packaging, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These formats are designed to ensure product protection and ease of handling during transit from our Brazilian facilities to international destinations. The choice of packaging should be determined by your facility’s storage capacity and handling capabilities.
We recognize that logistical requirements vary depending on the destination and the scale of the operation. By clarifying your expected volume and preferred packaging configuration during the inquiry phase, we can provide precise information regarding export conditions and help coordinate the most suitable delivery plan for your procurement schedule.
