Documentation, pack choice, storage and custom specifications for this line.
Ask the technical deskEvery dispatch carries a lot-specific certificate of analysis, the current safety data sheet revision, a GST tax invoice, a packing list and the origin weighbridge slip. Export consignments add an IMDG declaration and, on request, a certificate of origin. The COA is issued against the actual batch number and retained in our archive for twelve months.
Stock options for this line include 180 kg Epoxy-Lined Mild Steel Drums; Bulk Stainless Steel Tankers (25-30 MT). Trial work usually starts with a carboy or drum; production volumes move to IBCs, jumbo bags or tankers where the product and site permit. The load estimator below converts tonnage into units, pallets and container utilisation for each pack.

Incompatible materials include Strong oxidizers; Strong acids and bases; Certain plastics and rubber seals.
Yes, for repeat volumes. Send the assay, moisture, trace-metal and packing limits to the technical desk. We check them against the source plant’s capability, run a trial lot where needed, and hold the agreed limits in the annual supply agreement. Standard stock material remains available in parallel.
Three short steps — product, volume, company — route your requirement to the Ankleshwar desk with the grade and packing already attached. Quotes are issued against a real lot, not a price list.
