Answer from China Magnesium Industry

This is the most common issue in the procurement process, and in fact, magnesium chloride procurement cannot only compare unit prices.

Suggested key comparisons:

For example, if one ton is cheaper by 100 yuan, purchasing 100 tons can save 10000 yuan. But if this leads to fluctuations in the strength of the board, readjusting the process, customer complaints, and losses are often much higher than the price difference. Therefore, mature enterprises usually compare the total cost of use (TCO) rather than the purchase price.
