Consumption calculation example:
Before applying PRC, the customer need to purchase Ethyl acetate
The INDICOT S105 need to be diluted in Ethyl acetate (99.9% purity) at customer site
Indigocot S105 should be diluted with Ethyl Acetate with 5% concentration of Indigicot S105 (0.15gsm gsm EA)
Assuming Ethyl Acetate price is 1$ / KG; then 2.85gsm will cost $ adding the Indigicot price will lead to the following pricing: $ $ = $
