Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are Certificates of Analysis (CoA) provided with bulk chemical orders?
You can require a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) in your RFQ. Suppliers who can meet this requirement will then send you their quotes directly.
Are water treatment chemicals certified for potable/drinking water use?
If you require chemicals for drinking water treatment, you should specify the need for NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certification in your RFQ. Many suppliers can provide certified products for these applications.
What bulk packaging options are available for liquid and powder chemicals?
Common packaging options include 25L jerrycans, 200L drums, and 1000L IBC totes for liquids, and 25kg or 1000kg bags for dry chemicals. You can specify your required packaging format in your RFQ.
