Additive powder or masterbatch style
Record particle size, moisture, carrier resin if any, and whether the quote is for neat additive or a concentrate. Ask for flash point only when the proposed form is liquid or solvent-borne.

What a comparable quotation must confirm
Family names are not enough. Similar labels can hide different active content, carrier systems or package sizes. The table below is a buyer checklist, not a product specification issued by this site.
| Field | Buyer records | Supplier must answer | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active content | Requested assay or open | Quoted assay and method | Open until accepted |
| Ionic type | Requested or undecided | Quoted ionic class | Open until accepted |
| pH and density | Process window if known | TDS range for the lot | Open until accepted |
| Packaging | Bag, drum, IBC or other | Net fill, liner and label | Open until accepted |
| Documents | SDS, TDS, CoA format | Exact-product files | Open until accepted |
No inventory, compliance outcome or savings percentage is implied. Compare product subtotal, packaging, samples, freight and destination charges only when each quotation states those lines.
Specialty chemical inquiry rows
These rows describe how buyers usually segment a flame retardant request. They are inquiry families, not stocked SKUs.
Reactive or polymeric systems
State molecular weight targets, solids content, viscosity window and intended polymer or textile route. Keep halogenated versus halogen-free as an open selection, not a site claim.
Map the use contextTextile or fabric finishing chemistry
If the path leads to flame retardant fabric suppliers, capture fabric type, add-on target, durability wash cycle and whether the quote is for chemical or finished cloth. Document questions stay on the document guide.
Questions that keep quotations comparable
Use the same identity, assay and receiving-file questions on every mill reply so two answers can sit on one sheet.
Name the additive, CAS if known, grade, assay target, and whether the request is powder, liquid, masterbatch or a finishing liquor. Leave unknown fields blank rather than guessing a mill grade.
Ask the proposed plant to restate active content, ionic type, and the CoA method that will travel with a lot. A related-family SDS is not evidence for the quoted material.
Keep SDS, TDS, CoA template, UN number if assigned, net fill and any TSCA or REACH wording the buyer still needs confirmed. Handling follows the exact SDS and carrier rules, not this page.
