After looking at the supplier's website, we usually easy to find some suppliers with very nice company introductions,and it all seems to be a good choice. So here is the question, how do you pick the best option and the best is necessarily the best fit
For more information, please visit our website.
The content written in this article, through the following 5 aspects, you can compare among the last few suppliers by Price, Quality, Communication, Delivery time and Service & Solution to choose the best one.
1.Low
Price
Always Come with Reasons
Without a doubt, price is the first. However, you cannot simply choose whoever offers the lowest price. More attention should be paid to the reason why the price is much lower than others or even lower than the market. We interviewed 60 experienced buyers who have been importing in China with Cellulose ether product for more than 15 years, over 95% said they were the first to rule out the lowest priced supplier, &#;It could be that their production quality is not as good as average because they use cheap raw materials&#;.
Maybe the product is not stable, but you can not tell the difference from their samples. Or maybe the quotation is for lower grade instead of high performance products. Once you ask high quality, the quote would be much higher. In a word, you get what you pay for.
On the other hand, it's not uncommon for manufacturers' quotes to differ by 10% to 30%. This is because factory management costs or manufacturing costs vary situation. For example, a large manufacturer may charge 30% to 40% more for the same product than a small factory. Regarding to the cellulose ether product, many manufacturers are located in China, Shandong and Hebei. Some manufacturers in Shandong, we all know their names with good quality, such as Shandong Head Co., Ltd , Shandong Landu New Material Co., Ltd., Shandong Michem Chemical Co., Ltd., Celotech Chemical Co., Ltd.has the production base in Shandong province too.Shandong Province, as a large chemical province in China, has long been in the forefront of the country in terms of chemical output value, and is known as "China's No. 1 Chemical Industry Province". If you source products on behalf of a large production plant or a large trading company, you may prefer to pay more to buy from a larger manufacturer, which can provide you with prime quality products and after-sales service.
So when you're comparing prices, try to figure out why they're so different, and figure out if you can accept with those reasons and be willing to pay for them or only need lowest price for &#;one-time&#; cooperation.
2.Get Samples to Check Production Quality
The quality of samples is the second important factor you should compare between suppliers. Regardless of the supplier's business background, the price quoted, or the product they promise should be of good quality, you always need to get a sample to evaluate whether they can produce a high-quality product. If you are satisfied with the supplier's performance, please request their samples. Of course, for some suppliers, you need to pay for samples and shipping cost. The quantity of free samples they provide is generally 200g to 1kg, But also willing to waive all fees for premium customers.
3.Good Communication Saves More
than Money
I believe communication is as important as price. Through communication, we can feel whether they are professional and responsible. If you repeat your request over and over and you still find that the product ends up not being made the way you want it. You have to spend a lot of energy arguing with them to duplicate the product or get a refund. This is a real headache. Many Chinese suppliers are not fluent in written or spoken English. Very few people have good customer communication skills and good product knowledge. From a purchasing perspective, good communication should have two characteristics:
The supplier always understand your needs.
The supplier is professional enough in this industry, rea to offer advice and solutions to any problems.
4.Delivery Time is Gold for Your Project
Delivery times depend on the product category, the manufacturer's production capacity, and their production schedule. In most cases, if you place an order with a supplier for few container, maybe 22 or 48 tons HPMC product, it will take 20 to 30 days for them to start a new production process. If you have options from multiple suppliers with similar prices, it is better to choose the one with the shorter delivery time. Maybe they have a bigger production capacity, or maybe they have a better production schedule. Especially if you're buying a popular product, it&#;s better off choosing suppliers who can deliver the product as quickly as possible, even at a higher price. Because one of the keys to monetizing a popular product is to act as quickly as possible. If more and more people realize the opportunity of this product, it will be too late to start selling. Shandong Michem Chemical Co., Ltd. with a manufacturing plant annual production capacity of MT for cellulose, under the brand name Milacell, include Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose , Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose, and Hydroxyethyl Cellulose.Delivery time for container orders is within 7-10 days.
5. Customer Service &
Shipping Solution
You don't need to worry if you have a trusted freight forwarder who can help you ship your products from your supplier to your country. But if you don't, or prefer the supplier to handle the logistics, then you're not only comparing product prices, but also logistics costs and solutions. Because it usually happens that some suppliers offer very low product prices to attract buyers. This means their goal is not to make a profit from selling the product, but to charge more for shipping after you place an order. Another scenario is that if the supplier has little experience shipping goods in your country, they will get a higher shipping quote from the freight forwarder, which will also increase your total cost. Therefore, it is important for you to compare the total cost of all suppliers by combining product cost and shipping cost. What you need to assess is whether they have one or more freight forwarders with long-term cooperation. Michem has been exported to the global market for more than 15 years, and has rich experience in cooperation with first-tier shipping companies such as MSK, COSCO, ONE, HMM etc.provide you best product with the best shipping plan.
The Best Doesn't Make It The Best Fit
The top world cellulose ether producers include Dow &#;Ashland, AkzoNobel&#; Lotte Fine Chemicals&#;but sometimes we find their prices are way beyond our budget.
In summary, choosing a supplier, especially as a large company, is the same thing as choosing a life partner, a wife or a husband. Only by choosing the "right match" can long-term cooperation and win-win results.I hope this article will help you find the best supplier of cellulose ether.

When buying cellulose ether HPMC HEMC HEC and redispersible polymer powder, you may have a lot of questions, such as product quality, annual production capacity, delivery time, payment term, samples, shifts, etc... Mikem provides customers with cellulose ether and redispersible polymer powder.
So the annual capacity of our cellulose ether is 50 000 per year. And for RDP, it is about 12 000 per year.
Well, our factory with 13 horizontal reactors and three vertical reactors. The output of each reactor is about seven tons per time per hour. So with all the reactors in operation, we have a daily output of about 200 tons per day. But actually, in a practice, it is 130 tons. So on average, it is about 55 tons of each grade of HEMC, HPMC, and HEC. And for RDP, we have a daily output of an estimated 20 tons.
For more information about Mikem chemical brands and their production capacity, please click here.
So we will start stocking our production, stocking our inventory after we receive your 30% prepayment.
And to contact the shipping company to book a proper vessel for you. It has an estimated departure time of two weeks after your payment. so you can get your products as soon as possible. Right. The production time of our factory is about 7 days.
We only need 7 days to prepare all your cargo and deliver it to the Qingdao port.
The ash content of our RDP MIKRANT ET is, for example, about 18% ash content.
What does it mean? It means that during the production process of VAE RDP, we need to put it into an addict named Calcium silicate. Calcium silicate is a very necessary step in the VAE RDP production process.
The ash content of 18% is among the middle-class to the upper class on the quality in the Chinese market.
Even Wacker VINNAPAS RDP will reach 12% ash in the addition of this agent. Our RDP MIKRANT ET products include three different series according to different levels. If you request for ash content of less than 12%, we may recommend to you the MIKRANT ET. Its counterpart is Wacker VINNAPAS N with an ash content of 12%.
So our payment term is 30% T/T payment as a deposit. And 70% balance T/T against the B/L copy or L/C at sight.
Well, we are investing in two Chinese factories for our Exclusive OEM manufacturing. it makes us more competitive with United States manufacturing standards and China's local economic raw materials or labor resources. Like WACKER, they also have two or three local Chinese OEM manufacturing plants under their brand's name.
One more independent MIKRTANT RDP factory is under construction. and it will be put into mass production this September .
Well, how ensure our quality? Our happy customers say everything. The customers will establish a long-term relationship with us. and they always. And our repurchase rate is very high. Plus the supervisor from the United States headquarters will give QC inspectors to supervise our production line. We have had a quality prosecutor who resident long in china. And they will be very strict on every level.
But recently considering the situation of the pandemic in Chinese markets, all the quality inspections are carried out by local reports. And we will conduct online meetings to report our batch quality certificate to our headquarters. But there still was no slack. we never slack. We will send the samples randomly as an inspection for them. If it fails, we will be required by our headquarters to limit our output.
So don't worry about the qualities. we are the best.
Of course, we welcome your business trip or business building trip for your from your side. And we expect that we are also willing to provide free samples for your testing.
If you have worked with, you know, the third party in china, welcome.
Yeah, we provide free samples ( 200g to 800g) for your lab texting.
And after that, we will be appreciated it if you can give us some feedback so that we can make better improvements and supply better products.
Well, to get the sample first, you need to find out your sales team in MIKEM Chemical (www.mikem.com). And you can send an inquiry asking for a sample.
You can detail how many samples you need and what is your target industry and which grade you need. You can tell all this information to our sales group. And we will have a sales group to contact you within 20 hours, yeah, within, sorry, 12 hours. And after that, you can get your sample. We will send the sample through FedEx or DHL. You will get the sample in estimated 20 days next.
Okay, for C1 standard concrete, we suggest you add 2 kg to 2.5 kg of HPMC per ton.
And for C2 standard concrete, our suggestion is to add more volume, say, 2.5kg to 3kg.
HPMC Dosage (KG) C1 2-2.5 C2 2.5 - 3Well, because MELACOLL and the rest of the cellulose ether suppliers adopt different production processes and different raw materials.
First, let's talk about the HPMC MHEC HEC raw material.
Walocel or the product from Lotte or Ashland or DOW, use the fine wood pulp. It determines that their products might have better water retention.
Well, MELACOLL HPMC production process, we're using refined cotton. this will determine that our products will have better workability and thicking property. The thick property is twice than that of the ordinary products in the market. So the intention we are designing our product is like this, say, high viscosity products for saving our customers' budget. Because of the higher viscosity, the dosage, for example, for tile adhesive, is lower than the normal products in the market.
So with our high-viscosity product, in some way, you can save your dosage, so you need less volume of our products. So in some way, you can save your budget.
Before load cellulose ether and RDP, first, we ensure our quality is the same as the samples we have sent to you for Lab testing, and we're open here. We're open to any inspection audition from your side. I mean if you have any good relationship with a third party from another plant or companies in China, you can send them to our plant. And they can involve in the loading during the day of loading. And they can actually involve in it and they can take some samples. They can send to the lab anything.
We also have a whole after-sale and QC group to make sure that our product is according to the standard.
Also, we have established companies seeking long-term relationships with our customers. So it is very important that we will value our reputation and the good procurement experiences from our customers like you.
We will keep on dozens of inventory in the peak season like in the middle of the year March, May, June, July.
And that is why our salesperson always needs our esteemed customer to provide your PO several days in advance. Because we need to tell our factory to put it into mass production or batch production. Especially in the peak season, our inventory will go out and will consume very fast.
Well, the vessel to your country.
I mean the date of the vessel and the lead time they all depend whether your countries are in Latin America. because, for example, to India and Chennai, we have four voyages per month and the lead time is about 15 to 20 days. For example, it would, the lead time will take will be longer because the distance is long right? So the lead time to Latin America would be 20 to 45 days. And the voyage mostly it would be four voltages per month.
