Each tile is a cell that must carry a buyer value or stay marked open. We do not backfill competitor ranges, typical mortar dosages, or another manufacturer’s certificate of analysis.
Grade and polymer architecture
Ask whether the polymer additive for thinset is a vinyl acetate copolymer powder, an acrylic latex, or another architecture the buyer named. If a substitute is proposed, it occupies a second line so price is not compared across different polymer bases or solids content.
Viscosity, pH and particle size
Record viscosity method if the offer is a liquid, pH window, particle size if the offer is a powder, and moisture. Active content and solids content matter when the mortar water demand is sensitive. Blank cells stay blank until the factory answers.
Packaging net content
25 kg bags, lined sacks, drums or IBCs change freight, storage and lot traceability. The quotation should state package material, net kilograms, pallet pattern and whether the lot can be split for a sample without changing the CoA format.
Document pack for the quoted SKU
Safety data sheet revision, technical data sheet, CoA template, TSCA statement for US supply, and any REACH, ISO or GMP file the buyer listed. Transport class, UN number and flash point stay tied to the exact concentration, not to a sister grade.
