Sourcing Considerations for Coatings & Adhesives
In your RFQ, you can specify compliance with international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, REACH, and VOC regulations. You can then request documentation directly from suppliers to verify their products and processes. Key capabilities to look for in a supplier include:
Consistent chemical formulations supported by Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
Custom color formulation and OEM private-label manufacturing capabilities.
Dangerous Goods (DG) compliant export packaging for safe maritime and road transit.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can manufacturers supply custom RAL or NCS color matching for paints?
Yes, many suppliers offer precise computerized color matching according to international RAL, NCS, or customer-provided physical samples. Be sure to specify your color requirements in your RFQ.
Are Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and SDS provided for chemical products?
You should request that suppliers provide comprehensive TDS and GHS-compliant SDS documentation with their products. Matched suppliers can confirm their ability to meet these documentation requirements.
What are the packaging options for bulk liquid adhesives and coatings?
Suppliers can offer flexible bulk packaging solutions, including 20L pails, 200L steel drums, 1000L IBC totes, and specialized cartridges for sealants. You can state your preferences in your request.
