What are some key properties that make raw materials suitable for compounding industrial media?
What are some key properties that make raw materials suitable for compounding industrial media?
- Uniqueness, scarcity, high market demand
- Complexity, variability, high cost
- Unpredictability, seasonal availability, low chemical quality
- Cheapness, ready availability, constancy of chemical quality (correct)
Why might a raw material that is cheap in one location not be cheap in another?
Why might a raw material that is cheap in one location not be cheap in another?
- It lacks quality and consistency
- It is difficult to transport
- It may have already found use in some other production process (correct)
- It is too abundant in the new location
What advantage is mentioned in using local substitutes for raw materials?
What advantage is mentioned in using local substitutes for raw materials?
- Minimizing production time

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
