QUOTE MATCHING

Antifoam suppliers compared on one evidence list

The matching desk normalizes what antifoam suppliers must return: identity, assay, ionic type, package net fill, documents and freight scope. We do not rank plants, certify systems or treat a brochure ISO logo as proof for the quoted SKU. Candidate outreach starts only after the buyer brief names quantity, packaging and a US destination. If a factory proposes a substitute carrier, different active content or another pack size, that line stays separate until the buyer accepts it. Flash point, UN number and moisture are requested when the SDS or concentration makes them relevant, and they remain supplier answers rather than site credentials. Sample freight, testing fees and destination charges are listed only when the quotation states them explicitly, so an EXW drum figure is not mistaken for landed procurement cost.

  • Current SDS for the quoted concentration, including UN number and flash point if classified.
  • TDS with typical viscosity, density, pH and recommended addition stage.
  • CoA format covering assay, appearance and moisture or solids where relevant.
  • Packaging construction, pallet pattern and any temperature control during transit.

NORMALIZED FIELDS

Keep every supplier answer on the same commercial basis

Unit price is not comparable while one offer is EXW drums, another is CIF IBCs, and a third omits sample freight. The cards list the questions this desk repeats; they are not lead-time or savings claims.

Identity lock

Chemical name, CAS if known, silicone versus mineral-oil versus polymer family, and whether the quote is an emulsion or 100% active concentrate.

Assay lock

Active content, ionic type, pH window and density at a stated temperature. Alternatives go on a separate line pending buyer approval.

Lot economics

Quantity in kg, liters, drums or IBCs; sample versus trial versus recurring forecast; Incoterm; currency; and optional budget basis.

Open items stay open

TSCA, REACH, GMP, ISO quality-system evidence, DOT or IMDG class and shelf-life remain unmarked until the selected factory writes them for this SKU.

SUPPLIER DOCUMENT FAQ

What we ask antifoam suppliers to attach

A 10% emulsion and a 100% silicone concentrate do not share the same SDS, flash point or transport class. Matching work treats a substituted file as unanswered, not as a minor paperwork gap.

High-end, mid-range, budget or undecided is a buyer preference for documentation depth, customization and service. It is not a verified factory rating and does not require an existing quote.

After the buyer states what the sample must prove and who will review it. We can ask a factory for sample quantity, pack, and document set. Laboratory and EHS decisions stay with the buyer’s qualified parties.
