Additive: wholesale price

A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.50 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price

For additive, the drivers are mesh size, material, shade factor, roll width, roll length, uv resistance, hardness, shape — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.

Published wholesale coolant and cooling-system additive listings show prices dropping sharply with larger MOQs, with Chinese OEM/ODM and bulk-liquid suppliers clustering around roughly $0.58-$2.20 per liter/kg equivalent at lower volumes and sub-$1 pricing at multi-thousand-unit tiers. Realistic routes are private-label/OEM liquid manufacturers, industrial coolant distributors, or import landed-equivalent bulk drum/IBC supply; formula details such as pH, foam control, additive package, compatibility, and scent mainly shift the price within a tier rather than changing the overall ladder. Mid-range custom-printed packaging typically adds cost at the low end of the ladder, while bulk drums/IBCs are the cheapest route.

Also known as: industrial additive, modifier, polymer additive, processing aid.
