Technical Documentation FAQ

Questions about TDS, COA & Grade Replacement

Start with the four foundational parameters on your current supplier's TDS: raw material base (coconut shell, coal, or wood), particle size distribution (ASTM D2862 mesh or pellet diameter), primary adsorption index (ASTM D4607 iodine number, ASTM D3467 CTC, or methylene blue), and purity/washing treatment (ash, pH, moisture, hardness). Share your current grade name or TDS with our lab to receive a specification-matched DXD sample and batch COA.

A Technical Data Sheet (TDS) defines the typical or configurable manufacturing range for a product grade, while a Certificate of Analysis (COA) reports the actual laboratory test results measured on the specific production or shipment batch against your signed contract specification.

Yes. For every bulk order and sample shipment, DXD Carbon provides the English GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS), batch COA, packing list, and required export transport documentation from Chinese main ports.
