Material Selection Risks Overlooking the compatibility of materials like organic pigments versus synthetic or natural rubber can lead to product performance issues, especially in applications requiring specific elasticity or chemical resistance.

Specify Heat Resistance Requirements Insist on confirming the minimum heat resistance, ideally 200 ºC if the product will be exposed to high temperatures, to avoid degradation during use.

Industry Standards for Light Fastness In practice, most suppliers provide light fastness ratings between 5 and 7; aiming for 6 or above ensures better color durability under prolonged exposure to light.

Payment Method Impact on Cost and Risk A critical question to pose is how payment terms like T/T or L/C affect your cost structure and risk exposure, as these can significantly influence cash flow and supplier reliability.
