The Add-On Weight Bridge: Cost per Square Metre Calculator

Powder is quoted per kilogram and consumed per square metre. This converts the first into the second using your numbers — we pre-fill nothing and we publish no price of our own.

/ kg
g/m²
%
m
Cost per square metre of coated fabric
Cost per linear metre
Powder consumed per 1,000 m²

The arithmetic, in the open

  • cost per m² = (price per kg × add-on in g/m²) ÷ 1000, divided by utilisation
  • cost per linear metre = cost per m² × coating width
  • kg per 1,000 m² = (add-on × 1000) ÷ 1000 ÷ utilisation

Why the cheaper kilo can be the dearer square metre

Add-on is set by your applicator — the engraving on your roller, your scatter head, your dot gauge — not by the polymer. A powder quoted 15% below the incumbent that runs 4 g/m² heavier on the same line costs more per square metre of finished goods, and nothing on the quote says so.

What this tool will not do. It will not tell you what a powder costs. No public source publishes a market price, a minimum order quantity or a transfer-efficiency figure for textile scatter coating, and Teng Yang publishes no price on the web either — a quote depends on cut band, melt-point target, colour, chemistry, volume tier and packaging. Every number above is yours. The calculator only does the arithmetic your quote sheet leaves out.
