Gum copal — questions buyers ask
Answers from the trading desk. If yours is not here, put it in the enquiry and it will be answered in the reply.
Our clear and mixed grades dissolve cleanly in standard denatured alcohol and industrial methylated spirits (IMS). For fine varnish formulation, alcohol-insolubles are specified under 1.5%.
Yes. We mill to 60, 80, or 100 mesh upon request. Because milled copal oxidises over time, we mill strictly against confirmed container contracts so the cargo arrives fresh.
In 25 kg bags, a 20ft container loads approximately 18 MT palletised, and a 40ft container loads up to 26 MT depending on port weight restrictions.
In lump form, dry standard containers are adequate. For fine powder shipments passing equatorial routes during peak summer, refrigerated reefer containers can be arranged on request.
