Supplier matching, not mill ownership
This page shows how Masterbatch Sourcing restates producer quotation fields. Each proposed masterbatch manufacturer is asked the same carrier, load, package, document and delivery questions so a unit price is not compared across mismatched lots.
A color house that only reprints a shade card is not offering the same concentrate as a plant that writes lot-controlled pigment load and melt flow. Those differences stay on the sheet. Mill capacity, authorization and a preferred factory roster are omitted because they are not in this site record.
When a buyer asks for a masterbatch manufacturer, the desk does not advertise a preferred mill. Open questions are rewritten into fields a producer can answer, and alternative grades stay on separate lines until substitution is accepted.
Confirm whether the intended material is a color, white, black or additive concentrate, which carrier resin is required, and whether recovered pigment is acceptable. A producer name is recorded only as a proposed source, never as this site’s factory.
Put melt flow, viscosity, moisture, color coordinates and let-down ratio on the same units. If a manufacturer offers a typical value instead of a lot limit, that difference stays visible so purchasing and quality can decide separately.
Every quotation should state which SDS, TDS and CoA format will be supplied. TSCA inventory status, REACH statements or ISO quality-system files are asked as evidence for that product, not as credentials of Masterbatch Sourcing.
Freight, pallet pattern, temperature limits and hazardous-material paperwork change total cost. We ask each manufacturer to mark inclusions and exclusions instead of inferring a delivered price from an ex-works number.
Ask whether pigment load, melt flow and moisture are measured on the shipped lot or copied from a historical typical sheet. A historical sheet cannot close a receiving inspection.
UN number, packing group and flash-point statements must match the quoted concentrate and package. Final carriage still follows the exact SDS, carrier rules and destination law.
If a sample is offered, record mass, container, residual analysis and the buyer method that will accept or reject it. This desk does not operate the laboratory or the molding press.
Use the masterbatch suppliers planner or return to the inquiry catalog when the field list is ready.
Send carrier, pigment load, quantity, bag or drum net content and the US receiving city. Producers are asked those fields only; mill output, lead time and a savings percentage are not invented here.
Eligible first orders may receive up to 3% after requirement review.
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements.
This is not a fixed discount, quoted product price or supplier-performance promise.
