Two-part epoxy for assemblies
Record mix ratio, viscosity and pot life. A shop process note is not a performance claim from this desk.

INDEPENDENT SOURCING PARTNER
Structural adhesive distributor grades captured before any plant comparison
US distributors, fabricators and industrial buyers can send the exact two-part or one-part configuration, viscosity, quantity and destination so this desk requests factory wholesale quotations on one written brief.
- Identity
- Chemical name and CAS number where known
- Measurable
- Chemistry family, viscosity, mix ratio and pot life
- Pack
- Cartridge, pail, drum or IBC handling notes
- Files
- SDS, TDS and certificate of analysis format
- 3 named files requested for the quoted cartridge or pail: SDS, TDS and CoA
- 3 chemistry lanes kept separate on the brief: acrylic, epoxy or another family
- 8 specification questions left open until a plant restates them
- 17 RFQ comparison fields covering mix ratio, pack net weight and freight scope
- 15 packaging and US destination checks tracked before any unit price is ranked
Same-basis quote steps for a structural adhesive distributor brief
A catalog synonym such as MMA or toughened epoxy is only a starting label. These four steps keep solids content, packaging and freight scope aligned before unit prices are compared.
-
Lock identity
Write acrylic, epoxy or another named chemistry, plus CAS where known, grade and intended substrate or assembly.
-
Lock measurable fields
Record requested viscosity, mix ratio, pot life, density or solids content. Leave test-method names open if the buyer has not specified them.
-
Lock delivered scope
State kilograms or liters, sample versus firm lot, pack format, US destination and whether freight, duty or palletization sits inside the number.
-
Keep evidence open
Ask for SDS, TDS and CoA for the quoted article. TSCA, REACH, ISO or DOT statements belong to the proposed supplier, not this desk.
Use-case pairs that change the RFQ, not the warehouse
Each pair is a buyer question set. Related names can hide primer needs, aluminum oxide concerns or cartridge versus bulk packaging that make two quotes incomparable.
Acrylic or MMA speed
Write open time, odor or ventilation notes if relevant, and whether a methyl methacrylate family is acceptable versus epoxy.
Compare inquiry optionsAluminum-facing bonds
Capture substrate alloy if known, surface-prep questions and whether a primer is requested before any lap-shear number is treated as transferable.
Map aluminum useDocuments still open
Request SDS, TDS and CoA for the quoted lot. A family file for another resin plant is not evidence for the article on the quotation.
Read the procurement briefSDS, TDS and CoA questions collected first
The left rail holds the document intent. Answers on the right stay as questions until a named plant restates the exact cartridge or pail.
Write chemical name, CAS when known, grade, chemistry family, and whether the brief is acrylic, epoxy or another structural adhesive. A catalog synonym is only a starting label.
Ask the plant to restate viscosity, mix ratio or solids content on the same basis you requested, plus pot life and color if assembly or inspection depends on them.
State pack size, cartridge ratio, pail liner, US destination and any site restriction that changes freight or hazardous-material handling.
Keep SDS, TDS, CoA format, sample needs and regulatory questions visible. A document for a related grade is not evidence for the quoted product.

Structural Adhesive Distributor Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We do not claim factory ownership, authorization or inventory. Optional budget and supplier-tier notes are buyer preferences, not verified ratings.
After review we request factory quotes against the written specification, quantity, packaging and destination.
