Industrial & Laboratory Chemicals

GOLTENS supplies laboratory and industrial chemicals according to customer specifications, application requirements and project or procurement needs.

Laboratory reagents, industrial chemicals, formaldehyde/formalin, resins, water-treatment chemicals and corrosion-protection materials can be sourced according to the stated requirement. Availability, grade and packaging are confirmed during quotation.

Chemical procurement guide

Chemical requirements usually arrive as a chemical list, a specification or the name of a product already in use. GOLTENS reviews the information provided, sources the requested chemicals and prepares a quotation.

These guides describe common chemical types and the information needed to quote them — they are not a catalogue of specific products. The customer states the chemical, grade, purity and concentration required.

Specified Chemicals & Equivalents

Chemical requests often name a specific chemical, grade or product. GOLTENS can quote the specified chemical based on the information provided, and proposes an alternative only where the customer's specification allows an equivalent. To repeat supply of a chemical currently in use, start from its label or container information.

Equivalence must consider the chemical identity, grade, purity, concentration, form and application stated by the customer — never the chemical name alone. Final suitability, equivalence and approval remain with the customer, laboratory, consultant or responsible technical party, as applicable.

What information should I send with a chemical request?

Send the chemical name, the CAS number if you have it, the intended application, the grade, purity or concentration you require, the quantity and packaging, the delivery location and required date, and your quotation deadline. The checklist on this page lists the information that helps.

Can you quote from a chemical list or BOQ?

Yes. Send the chemical list or BOQ with the grade and quantity for each item. Items are quoted against the stated requirements, and any unclear item is clarified during quotation.

Do you supply laboratory chemicals and reagents?

Yes. Laboratory reagents, acids and alkalis, solvents, and buffers and standard solutions can be sourced according to the laboratory's chemical list and the grades it states. Availability and pack sizes are confirmed during quotation.

Can you supply formaldehyde/formalin?

Yes. Formaldehyde / formalin can be sourced according to the concentration, grade and packaging stated in your request. Availability is confirmed during quotation.

Which grade, purity or concentration will be quoted?

The grade, purity or concentration stated in your request. Where it is not stated, it is clarified with you during quotation; GOLTENS does not select it on your behalf where a technical decision is required.

Can equivalent chemicals be supplied?

The specified chemical is quoted where it is required. An equivalent is proposed only where your specification allows it, matching the chemical identity, grade, purity, concentration, form and application you state. Final suitability, equivalence and approval remain with the customer, laboratory, consultant or responsible technical party, as applicable.

Are SDS and other chemical documents available?

State the documents you need with the quotation or delivery, such as a safety data sheet. Their availability is confirmed for each item during quotation.

How are availability and lead time confirmed?

Availability and lead time are confirmed for each item during quotation, rather than given as a single fixed figure.
