Today, a customer asked me why the same TPE materials, consulted several prices are not the same, and customers who often purchase TPE materials will find that in Alibaba search TPE materials, the front page shows no less than 50 suppliers, the price is even more varied, uneven. One kilo sells for a few yuan, and another kilo sells for several dozen yuan. For customers who do not have too much TPE material, they are a bit confused at this time. The price is actually many times, or even ten times. What's in this? This article, based on six years of experience in the TPE industry, for you to uncover the interpretation of TPE material prices so different, behind the truth.
1. TPE product requirements
What we need to understand is that TPE materials are mostly composite and mixed materials. In many cases, it is necessary to follow the different requirements of guest products to customize the special TPE mix and brand. The different requirements of this customer lead to different prices for TPE materials. This is the main reason for the large difference in TPE prices.
2. TPE weight factor
In the case of TPE material grade requirements, the higher the proportion of the material, the cheaper the price. However, it should be noted that this seems to be a lower price, because the increase in the proportion of material prices will largely offset the decline in the digital cost of material prices. This is not difficult to understand, because products are made according to the volume of the material to calculate, the material is small, light, the weight of the peers, to make things cost-effective. But overall, the increase in specific gravity will still appropriately reduce the cost of materials.
3. Is TPE a recycled material, secondary material
TPE can be recovered repeatedly. TPE's raw materials have many sub-brand products. This type of material is much cheaper than the true TPE material, but the material's physical nature and environmental protection are not so guaranteed. Regenerated TPE, sub-brand modification TPE is suitable for low-end products.
4. Customer TPE product positioning
Sometimes, the same TPE material, sold to small customers and sold to large customers, the price is different. Like the same clothes, put on the ground stall, followed by the store, the price is very different. Big customers, the manufacturing of things more brand quality assurance, service delivery time is also able to keep up, let the user rest assured. However, any quality service is based on the premise of appropriate profits. There's a good saying, "no profit, no service". In my opinion, it is impossible not only to think that the price is cheaper than the market, but also to think that the product quality is stable, the delivery time is fast, and the service attitude is good.
