Share your forecast, pack type and destination port, and we will propose shipment intervals and Incoterms that fit your storage capacity.

Do you offer samples before a bulk order of a specialty chemical?

For most products we can send a representative sample so your team can test it in the actual process, such as a dyeing trial, a resin cure or a fragrance blend. Samples go by courier with an SDS. Once approved, the bulk lot is matched to the sample specification and the COA confirms it.
