Chemical Solutions Tailored to Your Industry

RawSource is a specialty and bulk chemical distributor: you send a specification and a target volume, we source against it from vetted manufacturers, verify the lot against its Certificate of Analysis before it ships, and coordinate freight to your dock. One counterparty, accountable for the product, the paperwork, and the delivery.

Quantities run from drums and totes through tank trucks, ISO tanks, and full container loads. Every shipment arrives with its documentation: GHS-compliant SDS, lot-specific CoA, and TDS. Hazmat lines move as placarded freight with UN paperwork handled. Where a listed grade is not the exact fit, spec-matching and custom blending through blending partners close the gap, and discontinued products can be replacement-sourced against the old spec sheet.

How an engagement runs: 1) you send the spec, quantity, and destination · 2) we quote with packaging and lead time, usually within one business day · 3) documentation review before anything ships · 4) freight is booked and tracked to delivery · 5) the lot CoA governs what you received.

Service 03
Warehousing & VMI
Buffer stock and release programs through partner warehouses, so a standing requirement ships on your schedule instead of the ocean's. Scheduled releases, reorder coordination against your usage, and vendor-managed-inventory arrangements where volume supports them.
Includes: scheduled releases · buffer-stock programs · reorder coordination · VMI by agreement.

Service 04
Custom Blending & Spec Matching
When the listed grade is not the exact fit: spec-match evaluation against your target values, custom blends through blending partners, replacement sourcing for discontinued products, and relabeling or private-label programs. The lot Certificate of Analysis governs the delivered specification.
Includes: spec-match evaluation · sample and pilot lots · relabel / private label · CoA per lot.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What order sizes do you supply?

Most lines move in drums, IBC totes, tank trucks, ISO tanks, or full container loads. Some products are available at pail scale. Tell us the volume your operation actually runs on and we quote to it, including the freight.

What documentation comes with a shipment?

Every shipment carries a GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet, a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis, and the Technical Data Sheet. Grade-specific SDS and typical-property documents are available on request before you order, and hazmat lines ship with their UN paperwork.

Do you handle hazardous materials?

Yes. Corrosives, flammables, and oxidizers move as placarded freight with proper shipping names, UN numbers, and packing groups on the papers. Transport classification is confirmed against the grade-specific SDS before booking.

Can you relabel or private-label product?

Yes. Relabeling and private-label programs are available on qualifying lines, with neutral or your-brand labels applied before delivery. The lot Certificate of Analysis still travels with the goods.

How fast do you quote?

Typically within one business day for standard requests. Send the chemical, specification or grade, quantity, and delivery ZIP; spec-match and blending inquiries take longer because the evaluation is real.
