    I would like to inquire if the company has VAT dyes which are operated with hot water, soda ash(Na2Co4) and caustic soda (NaOH)
    If so, i would like to inquire about the pricing under the specifications mentioned above as i intend to use the VAT dyes on a small scale.

    Furthermore, I would like to know about the pricing of each color and if small samples can be sent to us with FEDEX or DHL. If payment for the samples is necessary, we will pay for it.
