How to Request a Quote for Engineering Plastic Materials: 5 Steps

Step 1: Define Material Specification

· Material type (PEEK, POM-C, PPS GF40, PEI, )

· Grade (unfilled, GF30, CF30, PTFE-filled)

· Color (natural, black, custom — see color options)

· Certifications (ISO 9001, FDA, RoHS, REACH)

· Application description

Step 2: Specify Dimensions & Tolerances

· Sheet: Thickness × Width × Length (e.g., 20mm × 610mm × 1000mm)

· Rod: Diameter × Length (e.g., Ø50mm × 1000mm)

· Tolerance: Standard or precision (see tolerance guide)

· For custom parts: 2D drawing (PDF) + 3D model (STEP/IGES)

Step 3: State Quantity & Delivery

· Current order quantity

· Annual estimated quantity (for pricing tiers)

· Required delivery date

· Incoterm (FOB, CIF, DDP, EXW)

· Destination address

· Packaging requirements

Step 4: Include Additional Requirements

· Documentation: MTR, CoC, SDS, RoHS/REACH declaration

· First Article Inspection (FAI)

· Sample pieces for evaluation

· Special packaging (cleanroom, individual wrapping)

Step 5: Submit & Follow Up
