Which colors are included in the Light Color grade?
The grade contains light assorted shades and excludes black, grey, brown, and strong dark shades. Exact color mix can vary by recycled source batch, so sample confirmation is recommended.
Can these rags support IMPA 232908 purchasing requests?
They can support common IMPA 232908 purchasing requests. IMPA is a procurement reference; buyers should confirm the final catalog description, vessel requirement, packaging, and sample approval before ordering.
