TPE框架协议怎么签?价格公式比单价重要

The unit price in the framework agreement was negotiated well, but as soon as the market rises, the other party delays delivery. The price formula isn't fixed, so the agreement is just worthless paper.

No matter how low the unit price is negotiated, it becomes worthless as soon as the market moves.

The TPE Framework Agreement is 'price-lock active': formula, terms, execution. Conclusion first: the price formula is more important than the unit price—the formula is the anchor of the framework.

The biggest pitfall of the TPE framework agreement: the unit price is fixed and won't change, but if the upstream market moves, the entire agreement becomes invalid—the formula serves as the framework's safeguard.

A framework is the foundation of procurement: formulas must be fixed for agreements to hold. If the formulas are not fixed, agreements become meaningless—the framework is a long-term issue in procurement.

Unit price will become outdated, why lock the price formula

The market changes every day: individual items and crude oil fluctuate. The market is a variable of price.

Unit price becomes outdated: it expires in three months. Unit price is a captive of time.

Formulas can link: the rise and fall of raw materials moves along. Formulas are the anchor for prices.

Linkage, interval, clause, how to write the formula

Linkage: Prices follow the raw materials. Linkage is the primary factor.

Range: Clearly state the range of increase and decrease. The range is the second element.

Clause: The price adjustment mechanism should be clearly stated. Clauses are the third element.

Table reading: The fixed price pleases neither side, and the linkage formula follows SEBS.

The official price is the correct answer for the framework.

How to read the table: Check each clause one by one, the agreement is visible, and clearly specify the linkage benchmark and adjustment cycle.

Formulas are the anchor of the framework.

Only talk about unit prices without writing formulas, and once there’s a fluctuation, everyone starts bickering.

Pitfall 1: Only talk about unit price. Locking in a unit price means if it rises, the supplier loses; if it falls, you pay more — the formula must be written.

Pitfall 2: Undefined range. Arguing — the range must be specified.

Pitfall three: Quantity is not guaranteed. Idle operation — quantity must be specified.

Linkage, price adjustment, range—clarify in writing before signing

Three questions: what formula, what interval, what clause. One verification: actual measurement of the agreement clauses — three questions and one verification, the supplier's details are clear.

Formula verification must come first: first write the linkage benchmark, price adjustment cycle, and upper and lower limits into the agreement, then discuss the unit price—the formula is the insurance of the framework.

Making sample retention a habit: retain samples for each batch, and re-test the physical properties by batch. Before switching materials between batches, compare them first before scaling up—the batch is stable, and customer complaints are few.

The biggest fear in a framework agreement is locking the unit price without locking the formula. When SEBS prices rise, a fixed price is just the beginning of mutual conflicts.

Write the price in the formula 'raw material benchmark + processing fee.' Anchor it to the publicly quoted prices of SEBS or TPU, with a fluctuation range trigger, so that no one loses.

Clearly specify three things: monthly minimum quantity, price adjustment trigger line, and validity period. If the quantity cannot be guaranteed, do not sign the framework; recalculate only if the fluctuation exceeds 5%, otherwise there will be daily disputes.

'Following the market' without a set range is equivalent to handing over the pricing power to the other party. Once the market moves, how the price is adjusted depends entirely on their words.

The formula is written into the agreement and reviewed quarterly, without the need for repeated renegotiations during periods of market fluctuations. The value of the framework is that it turns price adjustments into automatic execution.

The framework agreement writes the price as a formula for the processing fee based on raw materials. It anchors to the public quotes of SEBS or TPU, and only recalculates if the fluctuation exceeds 5%. Once the unit price is locked but the formula is not, whenever the market rises, they end up blaming each other.

Clearly specify the monthly minimum quantity, the price adjustment trigger line, and the validity period.

If you can't guarantee the volume, don't sign the framework; following the market without any range is equivalent to handing over pricing power to the other party, and reviewing the market fluctuations once each quarter means not renegotiating repeatedly.

Following the market without a range is equivalent to handing over pricing power to the other party.

. When the market moves, the price adjustment depends entirely on what is said. The formula is written into the agreement for quarterly review. The value of the framework is to turn price adjustments into automatic execution.

The formula is written into the agreement and reviewed quarterly, without the need for repeated renegotiation during periods of market fluctuation.

The value of the framework is to turn price adjustments into automatic execution; without a range, following the market means handing over pricing power to the other party, leaving price adjustments entirely up to a single statement.

The biggest fear in a framework agreement is locking the unit price without locking the formula.

. A price increase in SEBS signals the beginning of mutual undercutting. By setting the price with a formula of raw material benchmark plus processing fee, pegged to the public quotations of SEBS or TPU with a floating trigger range, no one loses.

Cologne Customer Case: Entire Batch Scrapped Due to Low-Temperature Cracking, Reformulated Recipe Achieves 98% Yield

A modified material application factory in Shenzhen had a batch of TPE parts crack at low temperatures, leading to the entire batch being scrapped. Kolon assisted in re-adjusting the formulation (oil/auxiliary/filler ratios), resulting in a batch pass rate consistently above 98%. By re-adjusting the formulation, low-temperature issues are addressed from the source—the cracking problem should first look at the plasticizer and filler system.

Summary

The signing method of the TPE framework agreement: lock the formula first, then complete the terms; a linked algorithm is more effective than a fixed unit price, and the formula serves as the anchor.
