Foncepi is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter specializing in high-quality carnauba wax, a natural vegetable wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm. With a legacy dating back to 1922 and operations located in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, we serve global industries that require reliable raw materials for sophisticated pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations.
Choosing the correct grade of wax is a critical step in maintaining formulation consistency for pharmaceutical applications, including coatings, ointments, and controlled-release matrices. We invite procurement and quality control professionals to evaluate our current supply options and discuss how our specifications align with your production requirements. Contact our team to begin your technical evaluation and request a quote.
Quality and Specification Standards
Carnauba wax utilized in pharmaceutical applications must meet stringent criteria to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Our portfolio offers different types of wax, including Type 1 and Type 3, which are frequently evaluated for their physical and chemical properties. Key indicators such as melting range (80–86 °C), acid value (2–7 mg KOH/g), and saponification value (78–95 mg KOH/g) provide the technical basis for your formulation’s performance.
Because purity and material consistency are paramount in regulated sectors, we provide comprehensive documentation for each batch to assist in your internal qualification processes. We recommend that R&D and quality assurance departments review the specific technical data sheets (TDS) and certificates of analysis (COA) corresponding to the desired wax type before incorporating the raw material into your pharmaceutical systems.
Flakes as a Standard Supply Format
Our carnauba wax flakes represent a primary supply format chosen for their structural integrity and ease of handling during the melting and blending phases of production. By maintaining the physical properties of the wax in flake form, we ensure that manufacturers can accurately weigh and process the material according to their specific equipment capabilities and production batch sizes.
Whether your process involves large-scale manufacturing or specialized smaller-volume production, the flakes provide the necessary surface area for efficient dissolution or emulsion preparation. Please inform our commercial team of your specific processing methods so that we can confirm the availability of this format for your scheduled production requirements.
Logistics and Packaging for Global Distribution
Foncepi manages the export of carnauba wax to international markets, ensuring that our logistics practices prioritize the protection of the product during transit. We offer packaging solutions designed for industrial handling, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, which are standard for our export operations to various regions, including the United States and international markets.
When planning your purchase, please specify your volume requirements and preferred packaging configuration. This information allows us to provide a more accurate proposal and coordinate with our export department to ensure the logistics match your facility’s receiving protocols. All delivery terms and shipping conditions are defined during the individual quotation process.
