Information the current TDS and sample must confirm

  • Exact viscosity specification
  • pH
  • Packing
  • Grade specific process suitability
  • Final purchasing specification

Do not assume suitability before confirmation

Published grade identity does not confirm suitability for a particular recipe fabric or production process Confirm the final decision with a representative sample and the current KARN TDS
