FACTORY MATCH / FIRST ORDER
Compare factory quotes on the same greenhouse cover line
FREE review of product, quantity, destination and sourcing requirements
Eligible first orders may receive up to 3%
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements. Final figures depend on supplier confirmation, product type and order value. This is not a discount, lowest-price, or today-only offer.
Independent factory matching
Greenhouse Plastic Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We turn a written greenhouse plastic brief into one request several factories can quote. We do not extrude film, hold a warehouse, or publish a price list.
These cards are request prompts, not published datasheets. Greenhouse Plastic Sourcing does not reprint a melt flow index (MFI / MFR g/10 min), tensile strength (MPa / psi), or density (g/cm³) as its own number.
Ask the supplier for the current TDS and SDS that name the quoted polyethylene or polycarbonate grade. A plant brochure does not replace a line-specific file.
| Ask | Unit |
|---|---|
| Thickness | inches, mils or millimetres |
| Density if used to separate grade | g/cc or g/cm³ |
Roll film, cut sheet and rigid panel are buyer choices. Neighbouring families such as general plastic sheet stay on their own sites. The buyer still decides which form belongs on the drawing.
| Axis | Buyer states |
|---|---|
| Form | Roll, cut sheet or panel |
| Treatment | Clear, treated, printable or UV / HALS package |
Width and roll length have to sit on the same line. CAD, STEP or IGES files can be emailed after we reply; this site has no upload field and no hosted CAD library.
Send the written lineThe matrix below is a checklist. Cells are typical industry questions from polymer practice; they are not confirmed ratings for any option on this site.
| Thermal | Chemical | Mechanical | Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous service in °F or °C | Pesticide or detergent wipe-down | Tear strength (kN/m) if the drawing cites it | REACH SVHC statement on the grade |
| Heat deflection temperature if a rigid panel is named | Outdoor UV stabilizer / HALS package ask | Film thickness / gauge in mil or μm | Named ASTM method on the quoted item |
| Vicat softening point if the factory uses it | Oil or fuel: this family is usually the wrong choice | Elongation at break (%) if the factory reports it | FDA 21 CFR 177 only when food contact is a real use |
Click an option to open the inquiry form. Names are forms, not warehouse SKUs or published prices.
Six checks we run on a written brief. None of them is a stock promise, a factory identity, or a percentage saving.
Roll, cut sheet or panel stays a buyer decision before anyone talks about money.
Several factories see the same thickness, width, quantity and Incoterms.
ISO 9001 plant paper does not stand in for the named ASTM method on the lot.
Say whether a sample must be approved before the production lot is released.
A cheaper-looking number on a different Incoterm is a different deal.
US state or postal code belongs on the request, not after the first reply.
These are files that belong to a grade and a lot. They are not badges this desk issues.
Name the applicable ASTM method for film, sheet or multiwall panel. The report has to cite the method and the condition it was run under.
Ask for a REACH statement that names the quoted grade, not a company-wide letter.
Only when the receiving plant files electrical or construction RoHS paperwork against this cover.
Ask which UV stabilizer / HALS package the extrusion or co-extrusion line used. Do not treat “UV treated” as a number.
Useful as a plant system file. It does not prove the thickness, density or treatment on this lot.
Only when food-contact material (FCM) is a real use. Most grower houses do not need this file.
Greenhouse Plastic Sourcing will send the same list to more than one factory so the replies can be laid side by side. Comparison is of total procurement cost on the same quantity, packing, Incoterms and document set.
