A Comparable Alternative to Torginol® Polymer Flakes — at Factory-Direct Pricing
Torginol® is the benchmark for vinyl flake chips in the North American flooring industry.
If you're a flooring contractor or distributor outside the US — or simply looking to reduce
material costs without compromising finish quality — Chromaflake offers a comparable option

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 3906909090. 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.
Pricing (FOB, All Colors)
| Order Volume | Unit Price |
