Procurement of chemicals is all about obtaining the raw materials / chemicals at the right price and specification without compromising on quality and quantity.
Best Chemical Procurement Practices:
- Maintaining proper data about feedstock of chemicals through software / datasheet
- Get COA / MSDS before placing the order
- Following CAS number is to rule out confusion in identifying compounds and serves as a common link between various nomenclature terms that describe substances.
- Establishing proper chemical purchase list with CAS number and reviewing it from time to time
- Maintaining data about the quantity and specifications of the chemicals purchased
- Ignore traders & procure directly from manufacturer / supplier with assured high-quality
- Digitalizing the procurement process through an e-commerce platform
- Transparent communication with suppliers and build supply chain
- Following proper safety standards while delivering chemicals and make sure labels are intact and information printed are legible at all times
- Storage of chemicals – The right storage method begins with gaining knowledge on the properties of chemicals, their compatibility & incompatibility with other chemicals, right handling techniques, etc.
