# Raw materials and commodities by grade and specification

> Source metals, resins, chemicals or industrial gases by grade: form, volume, documents and delivery terms, in the specification producers and distributors quote on.

Millsheet: Materials, specified to the grade. Send a requirement.

## What it is for

A producer buys inputs by specification rather than brand: an alloy and temper, a resin grade and melt index, a chemical at a stated purity, a gas at a stated grade, delivered to a plant on a schedule. Smaller buyers often pay distributor prices or cannot reach producer quantities at all. Set out the grade, form, volume, documents and delivery terms in the form producers and distributors quote on.

Purchasing managers at manufacturers and processors, product developers buying trial quantities, and agents comparing supply for a plant.

## What happens next

You get a reference number and your specification, ready to send to producers and distributors. We look at every requirement, and when we can source the grade to your delivery point or get it quoted, we reply to the email you leave. Nothing is ordered or committed until you agree terms. Contact details are kept apart from the requirement and deleted after 180 days.

## What you get

A reference number, your material specification (grade and standard, form, volume, documents and delivery terms) in the form suppliers quote on, and a reply when we can source it.

## Scope

Anywhere; the delivery point and trade terms are recorded as stated.

- Grades and standards are recorded as stated; equivalence between standards is not assessed.
