Can you supply industrial chemicals on a scheduled delivery plan?
Yes. For regular consumption we can agree a call-off schedule, for example monthly or quarterly shipments against an annual volume. This lets us plan production and reserve consistent lots. 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.
