Executive Summary
Sourcing high-purity acrylamide from China offers significant cost advantages but requires rigorous due diligence to mitigate risks related to product quality, compliance, and supply chain integrity. This report outlines a structured verification process to identify legitimate acrylamide manufacturers (not trading companies), with clear steps, red flags, and best practices tailored for procurement professionals managing chemical supply chains.
Critical Steps to Verify an Acrylamide Manufacturer in China
| Step | Action | Purpose | Verification Tools/Methods |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Confirm Legal Manufacturing Status | Request Business License (营业执照) and verify “Scope of Operations” includes chemical manufacturing. | Ensure the entity is legally authorized to produce chemicals. | Use Chinese government portals: National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to validate license authenticity. |
| 2. Validate Factory Ownership | Conduct an on-site or third-party audit (e.g., via SGS, TÜV, or SourcifyChina Audit Team). | Confirm physical production facility and equipment for acrylamide synthesis (e.g., acrylonitrile hydration process). | Audit checklist: production lines, storage tanks, R&D lab, quality control lab, waste treatment systems. |
| 3. Review Production Capacity & Technology | Request production capacity (MT/month), process flow diagrams, and years in operation. | Assess scalability and technical maturity. | Cross-check claimed output with utility consumption (e.g., water, power usage) during audit. |
| 4. Verify Product Specifications & Certifications | Obtain CoA (Certificate of Analysis), MSDS, and test reports (GC, HPLC). Confirm compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, GMP (if applicable), and REACH/OSHA standards. | Ensure product meets international purity (>99.5%) and safety requirements. | Third-party lab testing (e.g., Intertek, Bureau Veritas) on initial batch. |
| 5. Audit Environmental & Safety Compliance | Review wastewater treatment systems, safety protocols, and emergency response plans. | Minimize regulatory and reputational risk. | On-site inspection for ISO 14001 compliance and local EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) approval. |
| 6. Assess Supply Chain Control | Inquire about raw material sourcing (e.g., acrylonitrile) and internal quality control procedures. | Ensure traceability and batch consistency. | Request QC process documentation and raw material CoAs. |
| 7. Conduct Financial & Operational Due Diligence | Evaluate financial stability, export experience, and client references (especially in EU/US). | Mitigate disruption risk. | Request audited financials (if available), shipping records, and contact 2–3 verified clients. |
How to Distinguish Between a Trading Company and a Factory
| Indicator | Factory (Preferred) | Trading Company (Risk-Prone) |
|---|---|---|
| Business License | Lists “production” or “manufacturing” in scope. | Lists only “trading,” “distribution,” or “import/export.” |
| Physical Address | Industrial park address with large land footprint. | Office-only in commercial district (e.g., Shanghai Pudong). |
| Production Equipment | On-site reactors, distillation units, automated packaging lines. | No visible production assets during audit. |
| Technical Staff | Engineers and chemists on-site; R&D department. | Sales-focused team with limited technical knowledge. |
| Pricing Structure | Lower FOB prices; transparent cost breakdown. | Higher FOB prices; vague cost explanation. |
| Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) | Flexible MOQs based on reactor batch size. | Rigid MOQs; may require full container loads. |
| Customization Capability | Can adjust purity, particle size, or packaging. | Limited to standard product offerings. |
✅ Pro Tip: Ask: “Can you show me the reactor where acrylamide is polymerized?” A true manufacturer can provide real-time video or photos of active production.
Red Flags to Avoid When Sourcing Acrylamide in China
| Red Flag | Risk Implication | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unwillingness to conduct on-site audit | High risk of misrepresentation or non-compliance. | Disqualify supplier; insist on third-party audit. |
| No ISO 9001 or environmental certifications | Poor quality control and regulatory non-compliance. | Require certification before contract signing. |
| Inconsistent product specifications across batches | Lack of process control; risk of polymerization issues. | Implement strict incoming QC and batch retention policy. |
| Pressure for large upfront payments (e.g., 100% TT) | Common in fraudulent or financially unstable entities. | Use secure payment terms (e.g., 30% deposit, 70% against BL copy). |
| Use of generic email (e.g., @163.com, @qq.com) | Indicates unprofessionalism or trading intermediary. | Require company domain email (e.g., @acrylchem.com.cn). |
| No experience exporting to regulated markets (EU, US, Japan) | Likely non-compliant with international standards. | Prioritize suppliers with documented export history. |
| Claims of “exclusive agent” for multiple brands | Likely a middleman inflating prices. | Verify direct manufacturing capability. |
