Before you request a sample
Set your colour target
If you have a shade requirement, note your target colour value: 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 or 2.1.
Pick the sample pack
Say which format you want the sample in; a small pouch or jar for lab testing is standard. Add the address the sample should go to.
Test it, then order
On arrival, your QA team tests Brix, colour and Bostwick against your own specification and the COA. If approved, confirm the quantity (from 1 FCL) and destination port for a formal quotation.
Sample questions
Does the sample come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. The sample is sent with its COA, so your QA team can compare the certificate with its own Brix, colour and Bostwick results.
Can I compare two grades?
Yes. If you are not sure which grade fits your application, request Grade A and Grade B samples side by side.
What should I include in the request?
The grade or Brix, the pack you want the sample in, your target colour value if you have one, and the delivery address. For the order that follows, add quantity, destination port and preferred Incoterm.
What happens after I approve the sample?
Confirm your order quantity, from one full container, and your destination port, and the export team prepares a formal quotation.
