Foncepi is a dedicated manufacturer and exporter of carnauba wax, supporting industries that require high-purity vegetable wax as a raw material for complex formulations. Based in Brazil, with operations in Piauí and Ceará, we have provided consistent, high-quality wax products since 1922. We understand that sourcing raw materials for regulated environments requires precision, and we are committed to providing the technical data necessary to support your evaluation of our products for your specific pharmaceutical or industrial processes.
Choosing the right wax grade is a critical step in ensuring the integrity of your final formulation. Whether you are developing tablet coatings, semi-solid bases, or protective barriers, we are ready to assist you in selecting the appropriate carnauba wax type and granulation. We invite you to contact our team to discuss your project specifications and receive a formal quote tailored to your volume requirements.
Technical Specifications and Grade Selection
The selection of carnauba wax for pharmaceutical applications is governed by the specific physical and chemical parameters required by your formulation, such as melting range and acid value. Our portfolio includes Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, which are widely recognized in various industries for their purity and consistent performance. These grades are processed to meet stringent quality standards and serve as a reliable foundation for your manufacturing needs.
When evaluating our wax for your production, we provide technical data including melting points typically between 80–86 °C and acid values ranging from 2–7 mg KOH/g. Because individual pharmaceutical requirements can vary, we encourage you to review our current TDS and COA to verify that our material aligns with your internal quality protocols. Our team is available to help you navigate these specifications to ensure the chosen grade meets the demands of your intended application.
Powdered Wax and Granulation Requirements
Our carnauba wax powder is produced to meet specific particle size requirements, ensuring reliable incorporation into your process. We offer powder with a specification of 95% passing through a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. This physical format is chosen by manufacturers to improve homogeneity and ease of dispersion in various industrial applications, including those involving complex blending procedures where consistent particle distribution is essential.
It is important to note that the suitability of a 100 mesh or 200 mesh powder depends on your specific equipment and the stability of your formulation. We do not categorize our powders as micronized or self-emulsifying, but rather as high-quality processed carnauba wax designed to facilitate your manufacturing efficiency. Please specify the required granulation in your inquiry so that we may confirm the availability of the exact product configuration that matches your process requirements.
Packaging and Industrial Supply Logistics
We provide our carnauba wax powder in professional industrial packaging, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to ensure the integrity of the material during transit. As a long-standing Brazilian exporter, Foncepi is accustomed to managing the logistics of international shipments, ensuring that your raw materials arrive according to the agreed-upon standards. We work closely with our partners to ensure that our supply chain capabilities support the operational demands of your business.
Defining the volume and packaging type is the first step in establishing a professional supply relationship. While we serve various markets globally, specific MOQ requirements and delivery timelines are subject to current inventory levels and logistical planning. We invite you to provide us with your estimated annual usage and preferred packaging format so we can present you with a quotation that addresses your specific procurement needs.
Documentation and Regulatory Assessment
In the pharmaceutical and regulated sectors, the documentation accompanying a raw material is as critical as the wax itself. Foncepi provides the necessary technical documentation, including TDS and SDS, to assist your quality assurance and regulatory affairs departments in their evaluation. We emphasize that all information regarding compliance, such as pharmacopeial references or specific grade certifications, must be verified against the current documentation provided during the quotation process.
Our role is to supply a high-purity vegetable raw material that meets your technical specifications. We recommend that your team conducts a thorough assessment of our documentation to ensure compatibility with your current manufacturing standards. By providing detailed information about your application and the regulatory framework of your destination, you allow us to assist you more effectively in the qualification of our carnauba wax for your production line.
