We are looking to buy EPE foam in laminated sheets.
Full sheets only of rectangular sizes, we will cut the sheets to various
sizes here. We are currently buying these products in North America
but are evaluating a switch. We import other products already from
all over Asia, and have been doing so since 1997.
We will use the foam as packing material

Total thickness of laminated would be 50 mm total. It can be made from
4 layers of 12.5mm, or 5 layers of 10mm, or 6 layers of 7.5mm or any
combination you like.

Width and length, we prefer 1.28m x 2.3m. But we can also use 1m x 2.5m,
or we can also use 1m x 2m if necessary.

Color is white (natural color). No special color or fire retardant or
UVI or anything. Nothing extra on foam, no anti-stat, etc..

We look mainly to import two densities:
64 kg per cubic meter (so one sheet of 50mmx1mx2m weighs 6.4 kg)
32 kg per cubic meter (so one sheet of 50mmx1mx2m weighs 3.2 kg)
Volume is 1 x 40 ft HC per month per density (total 24 x 40 ft HC containers
per year all items)

We need the price for full 40 ft HC, for FOB port in Asia.
Please specify your FOB port price, and also which port you would ship from.

We also use some foam made with higher foaming rates but it is difficult to
import because of freight costs. We also use:
28 kg per cubic meter (so one sheet of 50mmx1mx2m weighs 2.8 kg)
19 kg per cubic meter (so one sheet of 50mmx1mx2m weighs 1.9 kg)
You can quote these as well if you like. You also can just quote your standard
density product as well.

If any questions, please contact me with your specific questions.
I look forward to your proposals.
Best Regards,
