TDS / SDS from the factory
Ask for the current page that covers the quoted polypropylene resin line. A plant brochure is not a lot page.
| Melt-flow | g/10 min the supplier must confirm |
|---|---|
| Density | g/cc with the test method |
This page turns a polypropylene resin suppliers request into a brief several factories can quote on the same basis. Melt-flow, density and color package stay buyer decisions. Polypropylene Resin Sourcing holds no warehouse and does not publish MFI figures as if they were stock ratings.
Send the resin brief
Ask for the current page that covers the quoted polypropylene resin line. A plant brochure is not a lot page.
| Melt-flow | g/10 min the supplier must confirm |
|---|---|
| Density | g/cc with the test method |
If the exact item is unavailable, the factory writes what changed on melt-flow, density, color or ASTM method. An unnamed “close enough” line is sent back.
| Process | injection, film or extrusion |
|---|---|
| Color | natural, colored, or masterbatch separate |
Repeat kg or gaylord counts are quantity-driven. A 25 kg trial bag is one-off. Those lines stay separate on the request.
Open sample rulesLeave melt-flow blank and each factory will silently pick a catalogue default. Those defaults will not match. A film line and an injection line are not the same request.
| Field | Buyer writes | Factory confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Melt-flow | Target window or “supplier to propose” | g/10 min and the ASTM or ISO method |
| HDT / Vicat | Only if the part sees heat | Condition, not a brochure range |
| Field | Buyer writes | Factory confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Inquiry form | Virgin, natural, colored, film or injection | Whether that form is the quoted item |
| Quantity | kg by configuration | Bag, gaylord, ship count |
| Field | Buyer writes | Factory confirms |
|---|---|---|
| Lot file | Named ASTM method if required | Report on the quoted lot |
| Contact file | FDA 21 CFR 177 only if the part needs it | Grade and lot, not the trader |
Those marks belong to suppliers and configurations. They are not badges of Polypropylene Resin Sourcing.
Optional budget and supplier preference can travel in the same requirements field. No existing quotation is required.
