What particle evidence is requested?
Ask for the method behind mesh or laser-diffraction numbers. A brochure particle range is not a CoA for the lot that will ship.
QUOTE ALIGNMENT
Hot melt adhesive powder manufacturers quotation fields we normalize
Powder, pellet, and grind lots are easy to mis-compare when particle-size distribution, melt flow, anti-caking notes, and bag liner are left off the RFQ. This service page lists the fields we keep on one worksheet so factory replies can be read side by side. Hot Melt Adhesive Manufacturer Sourcing does not mill powder and does not certify particle profiles.

SAME-BASIS STEPS
Keep powder quotes on one commercial and technical line
-
Lock the grind request
Record mesh or D50/D90 if the line needs it, moisture, melt-flow index, and whether a cryogenic grind or standard pellet grind is expected. Leave the field blank when the buyer wants suppliers to propose.
-
Name packaging and labels
Ask for bag material, net kilograms, pallet pattern, and whether anti-caking or desiccant is included. A 25 kg bag and a 500 kg super-sack are not the same landed unit until the quote says so.
-
Split the cost columns
Product subtotal, bagging, samples, testing, freight, duties, and destination charges stay in separate cells. Unit price is not compared until currency, quantity, Incoterm, and exclusions match.
-
Hold unverified claims
ISO 9001, REACH status, TSCA statements, and lead time remain supplier answers for this powder SKU. Alternatives go on a second line pending buyer approval.
POWDER DOCUMENTS
Questions we copy onto every powder RFQ
How is moisture treated?
If the process is sensitive to moisture, request the assay method and the storage statement that will travel with the SDS, not a generic warehouse claim.
When is a sample useful?
Define whether the sample checks flow, melt, color, or odor. Pass/fail stays with the buyer lab. This desk does not run application trials.
What transport notes stay open?
UN number, packing group, and whether the powder is treated as a combustible dust issue are SDS-driven. Final carriage follows carrier rules, not this page.

Include grade, particle request, quantity, packaging, US destination, and delivery timing. Optional budget and supplier preference can be added without changing the original requirement text.
