Foncepi, a traditional Brazilian manufacturer and exporter operating since 1922, provides high-quality carnauba wax for capsule coating manufacturers worldwide. As a subsidiary of the RF Group with facilities in Piripiri and Coaçu, we supply the raw material essential for creating stable, uniform protective coatings in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors. Our commitment to quality ensures that our products meet the rigorous demands of industrial formulation processes.
Selecting the appropriate wax grade is critical for achieving the desired moisture barrier and aesthetic properties in capsule finishing. By understanding the specific needs of your coating process, we can provide the technical documentation and product specifications required to assist in your procurement evaluation. Please contact our team to discuss your application and the specific technical parameters necessary for your production.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Coating
Carnauba wax for capsules requires precise physical and chemical characteristics to ensure consistency in the film-forming process. At Foncepi, we offer Type 1, Type 3, and Type 4 carnauba wax, each presenting distinct properties regarding color and impurity content. The choice between these types depends on your specific formulation requirements, such as the need for a specific Gardner color index or adherence to internal quality standards.
Our technical team supports manufacturers by providing specifications for melting ranges and acid values that facilitate the integration of our wax into your existing coating systems. Because the performance of the capsule coating depends on the purity and quality of the raw material, we recommend reviewing our latest technical data sheets to align our supply with your regulatory and functional needs.
Physical Forms and Integration Methods
The physical form of the carnauba wax—whether flakes, powder, or lumps—is a determining factor in the efficiency of your mixing and coating operations. For manufacturers using powder, we supply materials with a controlled particle size, specifically offering 95% passing through 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. This granulometry is designed to support consistent dispersion within your specific solvent or aqueous-based systems.
We invite your formulation team to specify the required particle distribution and the intended method of incorporation. While different forms offer varying handling characteristics, the final choice should be based on your process equipment and the specific rheological requirements of your capsule coating application. Please provide these technical details when requesting your quotation to ensure we offer the most compatible product.
Industrial Supply and Packaging Logistics
Foncepi handles international exports through structured logistics, utilizing standardized packaging to preserve product integrity during transit. We provide our carnauba wax in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, accommodating various scale requirements from pilot trials to full-scale industrial production. The selection of the packaging format should reflect your facility's internal handling capabilities and storage capacity.
Our export operations ensure that the wax is prepared according to the required documentation standards for international trade. As part of our commercial process, we clarify the availability and configuration of the packaging based on the volume of your purchase order. We recommend discussing your specific logistics requirements with our team to facilitate a smooth supply chain transition for your manufacturing plant.
Technical Documentation and Quality Compliance
For manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, having access to accurate technical and analytical data is a prerequisite for raw material qualification. Foncepi makes available the necessary technical specifications, including melting points, moisture content, and chemical indices like saponification and acid values. These documents provide the baseline information required for your quality assurance department to evaluate our product for your coating applications.
While we provide the raw material that meets established industry specifications, we encourage you to request our current documentation packages for your specific batch requirements. Our team is available to help clarify the technical criteria and provide the necessary COA (Certificate of Analysis) and TDS (Technical Data Sheet) required for your internal homologation process.
Conclusion
Foncepi remains dedicated to supplying the capsule manufacturing industry with high-quality, Brazilian-sourced carnauba wax. By providing a selection of types and formats, we aim to assist your technical team in optimizing your coating processes through the reliable supply of premium vegetable wax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Foncepi provide carnauba wax that meets specific mesh sizes for capsule coating?
Yes, we supply carnauba powder in specific granulometries, offering options with 95% passing through either a 100 mesh or 200 mesh screen. We recommend that your technical team specifies the required mesh size during the inquiry process to ensure the product matches your formulation needs.
What documents are available to assist in the qualification of your carnauba wax?
We provide Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and can facilitate the provision of a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for specific batches upon request. These documents contain key analytical parameters such as melting range and acid values, which are essential for your internal quality and regulatory assessment.
How do I decide between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax for my coating application?
The choice between types often depends on the specific color requirements of your final product, as Type 1 generally presents a lighter Gardner color compared to Type 3. We recommend reviewing the technical specifications and color ranges of our available types to determine which best fits your aesthetic and functional goals.
What packaging options are available for industrial-scale supply?
Our carnauba wax is available in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. We recommend that you discuss your facility’s material handling capabilities and the volume of your order with our sales team so we can provide a quotation that fits your specific logistics requirements.
Is it possible to receive technical support for incorporating your wax into a coating process?
Foncepi provides the raw material and the associated technical specifications required for your internal development. We suggest that your R&D or formulation team reviews our technical documentation to assess the compatibility of our wax with your specific coating system and process parameters.
