Documentation & Compliance

COA, TDS, SDS, REACH documentation, inspection and shelf life.

Which documents are provided with each shipment?

Every shipment includes the Certificate of Analysis (COA), commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin. TDS and SDS are available on request, and dangerous goods shipments additionally include the dangerous goods declaration and UN packaging certificates.

Are your products supported by REACH documentation for EU import?

Products supplied to EU customers are accompanied by Safety Data Sheets meeting REACH requirements, and SVHC declaration letters can be issued for the specific grade. Please state your target market and registration requirements when inquiring so registration status can be confirmed grade by grade.

Can third-party inspection be arranged before shipment?

Yes. Pre-shipment inspection by SGS, BV or Intertek can be arranged at the buyer's request, including sampling, sealing and laboratory testing before the container is loaded.

What is the shelf life of MDI, TDI and polyols?

Polymeric MDI and TDI typically have a 6-month shelf life in sealed original containers stored at 15–30°C, while polyether polyols are generally 12 months. Containers should stay closed and away from moisture and heat; crystallised MDI is reversible by gentle heating to 40–50°C.

Are DOTP and DINCH phthalate-free options?

Yes. DOTP (CAS 6422-86-2) and DINCH (CAS 166412-78-8) are non-phthalate plasticizers used where phthalate restrictions apply, including consumer goods, medical device PVC and toy-related applications, subject to the compliance documents required in your market.
