Thickness and size on the quote
Every ptfe sheet supplier reply should state thickness in inches or millimetres and the finished width and sheet size. “Standard plate” is not a dimension.
Same-basis request
A ptfe sheet supplier quotation only means the same thing as the next one when thickness in inches or millimetres, packing and the document set sit on the priced line. PTFE Sheet Sourcing issues that list to more than one factory. We are not a factory and we do not hold an appointment.
Review Specifications
Every ptfe sheet supplier reply should state thickness in inches or millimetres and the finished width and sheet size. “Standard plate” is not a dimension.
Sheet, specified finish and named packing belong on the line. CNC blanks, etching, interleave film or a kit are billed separately unless written in.
Ask for the current dimensional page and the ASTM or equivalent method for the quoted item. A plant brochure is not that page.

Write the method and the condition it was run under if the buyer asked for it.
Food-contact, drinking-water or automotive files must name the lot, not the trading company.
