Study Notes
Key Properties of Raw Materials for Compounding Industrial Media
- Consistency in chemical composition and physical properties
- Compatibility with other ingredients and equipment
- Availability in sufficient quantities
- Cost-effectiveness
Location-Based Pricing of Raw Materials
- Raw materials may have varying costs depending on location due to differences in transportation, storage, and labor costs
- Availability and demand in a particular location also impact pricing
Advantages of Local Substitutes
- Reduced transportation costs and lead times
- Increased local economic benefits
Experimentation with New Local Materials
- Prior experimentation is necessary to ensure the new material meets the required specifications and performance standards
- Experimentation helps to identify potential issues with the new material, such as variability in quality or impurities
Discussing Well-Known Raw Materials
- To highlight their potential useability as alternatives to traditional materials
- To encourage consideration of these materials in the development of new products or formulations
