OPR / SILICA GUIDE 03

Prepare a silica specification for OPR

Describe needs before pricing

State the application and operations your plant already performs: washing, drying, classification or milling. Avoid comparing raw feed with a multi-stage prepared product.

Document essential limits

Separate mandatory criteria from preferences. Provide a dated specification, methods and sample tests. Include dust, storage and receipt constraints.

Define logistics

State trial volume, recurring demand, packaging, destination and Incoterm. This helps OPR prepare a consistent offer and confirm availability.

Every application needs a suitable grade and testing. OPR confirms grades, processing and availability; no ultra-high-purity grade or certification is assumed.
