But recently considering the situation of the pandemic in Chinese markets, all the quality inspections are carried out by local reports. And we will conduct online meetings to report our batch quality certificate to our headquarters. But there still was no slack. we never slack. We will send the samples randomly as an inspection for them. If it fails, we will be required by our headquarters to limit our output.

And for C2 standard concrete, our suggestion is to add more volume, say, 2.5kg to 3kg.

11. The reason why our product viscosity is higher than Dow or Ashland and Lotte

Well, because MELACOLL and the rest of the cellulose ether suppliers adopt different production processes and different raw materials.

First, let's talk about the HPMC MHEC HEC raw material.

Walocel or the product from Lotte or Ashland or DOW, use the fine wood pulp. It determines that their products might have better water retention.

Well, MELACOLL Processo di produzione dell'HPMC, we're using refined cotton. this will determine that our products will have better workability and thicking property. The thick property is twice than that of the ordinary products in the market. So the intention we are designing our product is like this, say, high viscosity products for saving our customers' budget. Because of the higher viscosity, the dosage, for example, for tile adhesive, is lower than the normal products in the market.

So with our high-viscosity product, in some way, you can save your dosage, so you need less volume of our products. So in some way, you can save your budget.

12. How to inspect and verify your quality before loading?

Before load cellulose ether and RDP, first, we ensure our quality is the same as the samples we have sent to you for Lab testing, and we're open here.

14. How many direct vessels are sailing to my country and what is the interval?

Well, the vessel to your country.

I mean the date of the vessel and the lead time they all depend whether your countries are in Latin America. because, for example, to India and Chennai, we have four voyages per month and the lead time is about 15 to 20 days. For example, it would, the lead time will take will be longer because the distance is long right? So the lead time to Latin America would be 20 to 45 days. And the voyage mostly it would be four voltages per month.
