Identity
Chemical name, CAS number where known, and whether the buyer wants native tapioca starch, a modified grade or a blend. Similar trade names can hide corn versus tapioca origin.

Tapioca starch supplier quotation fields we normalize
Matching work starts with a written tapioca starch supplier brief: grade, active content, ionic type, pack size, quantity unit and US destination, then the same questions go to each proposed plant. This path does not assign a mill, a modification line or an inventory position.
Buyers often mix native corn starch, chemically modified starch and tapioca starch under one catalog name. We keep those origins on separate lines so a corn starch quote is not compared with a tapioca starch quote. Moisture, particle size and food-contact notes stay visible when the buyer writes them; they are not inferred from a family SDS.
A tapioca starch supplier answer must restate assay, charge class and packaging. If the plant proposes a substitute botanical source, that line stays conditional until the buyer accepts it. Density and pH are requested only when the buyer method uses them. Viscosity, molecular weight and trace metals stay optional unless the application names them.
Requirement cards used before plants are contacted
These cards keep the tapioca starch supplier conversation on evidence. They do not certify thickening performance, food-law status or hazardous-transport classification.
Grade and assay
Active content, ionic type, moisture and any particle-size window the process cares about. Leave blanks for supplier confirmation rather than filling them from a related SKU.
Commercial unit
Quantity in kg, metric tons, drums, bags or IBCs; sample versus firm order; requested delivery window. Optional budget is currency plus unit or whole-order basis.
Evidence list
Current SDS, TDS and certificate of analysis format for the quoted product. TSCA or REACH statements are verification questions, not desk certificates.
When a supplier offers an alternative botanical source, modification or pack size, it stays on a separate line until the buyer accepts the change. Unit price is not compared until product basis, packaging contents, currency and freight scope match. Solids content, flash point and UN number are requested only when the destination or SDS class requires them.
SDS, TDS and CoA questions for each quote
Does the SDS match the quoted concentration?
A family SDS for specialty chemicals is not enough if the quote is a modified tapioca grade. Ask the plant to bind the file to the exact SKU and concentration.
What does the CoA actually report?
Request assay or active content method, moisture, pH where relevant and any particle-size limit the buyer uses. The method and lot number should be visible, not implied.
Which regulatory files are still open?
US destination work often needs a TSCA inventory statement for the exact substance. REACH or ISO quality-system files remain supplier evidence.
How will samples be judged?
Define identity, appearance, moisture, viscosity or compatibility checks before the sample ships. Laboratory and EHS decisions stay with qualified parties.
