Chemical distributors
Own pack mix, relabel language and whether one SDS can follow a resale lot without blending esters from different plants.
Evidence boundary
What a plasticizer quotation must confirm before prices are compared
A catalog name such as plasticizer, TOTM or DPHP can hide different ester chemistry, residual alcohol, stabilizer packages and color APHA. The table is a buyer check. It does not claim that any supplier, assay, TSCA listing or transport class has already been verified for this desk.
| Field | Buyer records | Supplier must answer | Status until confirmed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active content / assay | Requested % or open for proposal | Quoted assay method and typical value | Open |
| Ionic type / ester family | Phthalate, trimellitate, terephthalate or other | Stated chemistry for the quoted SKU | Open |
| pH, density, viscosity | Process window if known | Typical values at a stated temperature | Open |
| Packaging | Drum, IBC, isotank or bulk | Net fill, construction, palletization | Open |
| Documents | SDS, TDS, CoA, TSCA or REACH questions | Exact-product files, not a family sheet | Open |
Buyer roles
Who usually owns which plasticizer RFQ fields
Role cards describe who typically answers which purchase questions. They are not a customer list and they do not imply that any named application is already approved, stocked or compliant.
Flexible-PVC formulators
Own permanence, extraction, low-temperature flex and color; they define what a sample must prove before a production lot is discussed.
Industrial procurement
Own quantity unit, US destination, Incoterm and whether an optional budget is per kilogram or for the whole order.
EHS and quality
Review SDS, flash point, UN number, CoA format and any food-contact or medical-device document request. This website does not perform those reviews.
Continue to the application RFQ matrix, the TOTM bulk checklist, or the procurement brief.
Packaging and transport
Logistics questions that change a plasticizer landed scope
Keep package, UN class and destination limits on the same sheet so a drum, IBC or bulk reply can be read against the same freight basis.
Net fill, residual heel, heating needs and destination equipment differ. A 200 L drum price cannot be compared to an IBC or isotank until currency, quantity, Incoterm and package contents are aligned. Ask the supplier to state construction, liner, pallet pattern and whether heating coils or insulation are included.
Transport classification, packing group and flash point come from the exact-product SDS and the quoted concentration. Plasticizer Sourcing does not assign UN numbers or write DOT or IMDG instructions. Final carriage follows the SDS, carrier rules and the destination site procedure.
US city, receiving hours, tank or dock limits, winter pourability and any site ban on a package type can change freight and residual cost. Leave those items visible instead of treating a factory EXW number as a delivered total.

Send the plasticizer brief on one form
State ester identity, quantity, packaging, US destination and the documents still missing. Optional budget and high-end, mid-range, budget or undecided preference can travel with the same brief. No lowest-price or savings percentage is published.
