FAQ
Common sourcing questions
What technical information should I prepare when sourcing TPU?
For TPU sourcing, critical information includes: Confirm hardness, processing method, application, colour and benchmark material.. Applications like Footwear, Hoses, Films may require specific grades (e.g., unreinforced, glass-filled, flame-retardant) and performance documentation.
How is TPU packaged for moisture-sensitive international transport?
TPU is typically supplied in 25 kg bag · Palletized cargo. Bagged and palletized shipment subject to grade and destination.
How do you validate TPU meets the required specification?
Each TPU supply lot is accompanied by a manufacturer Certificate of Analysis (COA). For application-critical grades, we can coordinate pre-shipment samples, third-party testing (mechanical, thermal, or rheological), and lot traceability documentation. Our team reviews documentation against the confirmed specification before shipment.
What volume commitments are typical for TPU sourcing from China?
TPU sourcing volumes vary by grade and application. Typical minimums range from 1 MT (for specialty grades) to full container loads (10-20 MT depending on density). For regular supply programs, we can structure rolling contracts with quarterly volume reviews. Rush orders for smaller quantities may be available depending on stock positions.
