Common Questions
Before Partnering
Answers to the most frequent questions from formulation chemists, procurement managers, and brand owners evaluating Manta as a silicone ingredient supplier.
Ask Another QuestionWhat is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ varies by product line and grade:
- Lab samples: 100 g - 1 kg (free of charge for qualified buyers, freight at cost)
- Trial orders: 25 kg - 50 kg per grade
- Standard commercial orders: 200 kg - 1,000 kg depending on product line
- Bulk / container orders: No upper limit; volume pricing available from 5 MT+
For custom blends or specialty grades, MOQs are agreed on a case-by-case basis. Contact our sales team to confirm the MOQ for your specific product of interest.
What certifications and compliance documents do you provide?
Both manufacturing facilities operate under ISO 9001 quality management systems. Per shipment, we issue a complete documentation package:
- CoA -- Batch-specific physical and chemical parameters
- SDS / GHS -- Multi-language safety data sheets
- TDS -- Full technical data sheets with application guidelines
- INCI Declarations -- CTFA-aligned nomenclature per product
- SVHC / REACH Declarations -- Explicit D4/D5/D6 cyclic siloxane content statements
- Heavy Metal & Microbial Testing -- 9-item panel (4 heavy metals + 5 microbial indicators)
- China NMPA Filing Support -- Official submission codes, safety assessment data, purity documentation aligned with GB standards
All raw materials are traceable to batch level. Additional documentation (e.g., country-of-origin certificates, customs declarations) is available on request.
What are your typical lead times and delivery options?
- Lab samples: Dispatched within 3-5 business days via express courier (DHL / FedEx)
- Stock items (standard grades): 7-14 business days ex-works Nanjing
- Made-to-order / specialty grades: 3-6 weeks depending on complexity and volume
- Container shipments: Lead time confirmed at time of order; typically 4-8 weeks including production and logistics
We ship globally via sea freight (FCL/LCL), air freight, and express courier. Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP) are negotiable. Our logistics team can coordinate with your preferred freight forwarder.
How do I request samples and what information do you need?
To expedite your sample request, please provide:
- Target application (e.g., W/Si emulsion sunscreen, long-wear foundation)
- Specific grade or performance parameters (viscosity, INCI, or reference competitor product)
- Required quantity (typically 100 g - 1 kg for lab evaluation)
- Shipping address and preferred courier account (or we can prepay and invoice)
Samples for qualified buyers are provided free of charge; freight costs are at the buyer's account unless otherwise agreed. Use the inquiry form on this page or contact us directly via WhatsApp for the fastest turnaround.
Do you support OEM/ODM or custom silicone formulations?
Yes. Manta supports both OEM ingredient supply and custom development projects:
- Custom viscosity grades -- Dimethicone and functional fluids can be produced to target viscosity specifications
- Blend development -- Elastomer gels, emulsifier pre-blends, and volatile carrier blends
- Private-label documentation -- CoA and SDS issued under your specification reference numbers
- NDA / confidentiality -- We sign NDAs before detailed technical discussions
Custom projects are evaluated based on technical feasibility and minimum volume commitments. Please submit a brief via the inquiry form above, and our R&D team will respond within two business days.
How do your cyclic-free alternatives compare to D5/D6 siloxanes?
Our Cyclic-Free portfolio consists of linear dimethicone alternatives spanning 0.65 cSt to 2 cSt--the volatility range most commonly replaced in sun care, color cosmetics, and skin care formulations.
- Drop-in replacement -- Identical sensory profile; zero formula adjustment required
- REACH SVHC compliant -- D4, D5, and D6 content below detection limits, with explicit declaration certificates
- Functional equivalence -- Matched evaporation rate, spreadability, and skin feel to cyclic counterparts
- Documentation ready -- SVHC declarations, INCI, CoA issued per batch
Request a comparative TDS alongside your current cyclic grade to evaluate directly. We also offer side-by-side sensory panel data on request.
