Why International Contractors Consider Chromaflake

1. Factory-Direct Pricing

Torginol® reaches most markets through a US distributor network, which adds margin at every step. Chromaflake ships directly from the factory — the same price whether you order 20 kg or 5 tonnes. At volumes above 1,000 kg, our price is $2.30/kg FOB; above 5,000 kg, $1.90/kg FOB.

2. Low MOQ for Trial Orders

Testing a new supplier shouldn't require a large commitment. Our 20 kg MOQ lets you run a side-by-side application test before committing to a full container. We provide samples first — free of charge, courier collect.

3. Flexibility That Matters on the Job

Low-grade chips often shatter when rubbed between fingers — leaving powder residue that contaminates the topcoat and creates hazing. Chromaflake chips are formulated to remain flexible under pressure, reducing waste and rework on broadcast applications.

4. Custom Color Blends — No Minimum Per Color

Need a blend that matches a client's brand palette or a specific architectural spec? We blend from any combination of our 70 solid colors. OEM labeling and private-label packaging are available for distributors.

5. International Logistics Ready

HS Code 3906909000. Standard export packaging on pallets or in cartons. 20 kg MOQ for air freight samples; full-container loads (20 ft) accommodate up to ~17.5 tonnes. We prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, and COA on request.
