Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax to manufacturers who integrate natural glazing and film-forming agents into tablet coating formulations. As a Brazilian producer and exporter with operations dating back to 1922, we supply industrial-grade carnauba specifically designed to meet the rigorous physical and chemical standards required in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors.
The selection of the appropriate carnauba wax type and presentation is critical for achieving the desired gloss, moisture barrier, and controlled release characteristics in your coating processes. We invite you to initiate a technical discussion to evaluate how our available types and physical formats align with your current production requirements and documentation needs.
Selecting the Optimal Wax Grade for Tablet Coating
The performance of a tablet coating formulation relies on the consistency of the raw materials, specifically regarding acid value, saponification, and melting range. Foncepi offers Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, which are frequently evaluated by manufacturers for their ability to provide a durable, high-gloss finish and protection against environmental factors.
When selecting between these types, formulators must consider the impact of color and impurity profiles on the aesthetic outcome of the final tablet. We provide the necessary technical parameters for our batches, allowing your quality and R&D teams to verify compatibility with your existing coating systems and regulatory specifications.
Physical Forms and Integration in Pharmaceutical Processes
Carnauba wax is available in flakes, powder, and lumps to suit various manufacturing setups. For tablet coating, the choice of presentation often depends on your facility’s melting, dissolving, or dispersing infrastructure, as well as the specific solubility requirements of your coating masterbatch or suspension.
Whether you require material in powder or flaked form, our production maintains a high standard of purity consistent with natural wax processing. We encourage technical teams to outline the specific particle requirements or dispersion methods used in their facilities so that we can assist in identifying the most suitable presentation for your coating equipment.
Ensuring Specification Consistency for Coating Formulations
Consistency is paramount in pharmaceutical applications to ensure uniform coating thickness and performance across different production lots. Foncepi maintains rigorous internal controls, focusing on key properties such as moisture content, melting point—typically ranging from 80–86 °C—and acid indices that align with industry expectations for natural coating waxes.
Upon request, we provide the technical data sheets and analytical documentation required for your material qualification and homologation process. Our team is available to discuss the specific analytical testing that your quality department requires to approve our carnauba wax for use in your tablet coating applications.
Logistics and Supply for Tablet Coating Manufacturers
The supply chain for raw materials requires careful planning, from packaging choices to shipping timelines for international destinations. We provide our carnauba wax in standardized 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to preserve the integrity of the material during transit and storage prior to your manufacturing processes.
We work with global manufacturers to establish clear, professional supply relationships tailored to the production volume and delivery requirements of each facility. We invite you to contact us with details regarding your estimated annual volume, required packaging, and destination to facilitate an accurate commercial proposal for your coating operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Foncepi provide documentation regarding the compliance of carnauba wax for pharmaceutical applications?
Yes. We provide technical data sheets and documentation relevant to the specifications of our batches. We invite your regulatory and quality teams to share their specific documentation requirements so we can provide the appropriate technical support for your homologation process.
What are the differences between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax for coating purposes?
The primary difference is the color profile, with Type 1 typically presenting a lighter appearance than Type 3. The choice depends on the visual requirements of your tablet coating formulation, and we recommend that your R&D team reviews our current specifications for both types to ensure the best fit.
Is the powder form available in specific particle sizes for my coating system?
We offer powdered carnauba with a standard granulometry of 95% passing through 100 mesh or 200 mesh. Please specify which mesh size is compatible with your current manufacturing setup so we can confirm the availability of the appropriate material for your process.
How should I request a quote for my manufacturing facility?
To receive a customized commercial proposal, please contact us with details about the product type, physical form, required packaging—either 25 kg bags or 500 kg big bags—and your estimated annual volume. This information allows us to provide a more accurate and relevant response.
Can you offer advice on the formulation of a tablet coating using Foncepi wax?
Foncepi provides high-purity raw materials but does not offer direct consulting services for tablet coating formulations. We support your R&D efforts by providing technical specifications and samples for your internal testing, allowing your experts to determine the best application method for your specific product.
