Which grade should you choose?
The technical grade is enough for chemicals and lubricants. Cosmetics call for a refined, low-acidity grade, and pharmaceuticals for a grade that complies with the European Pharmacopoeia or the USP, with its certificates.
Do you deliver small quantities?
Yes, from just a few drums for a trial or a first batch, then in IBCs or tankers for regular volumes.
