Phase Change Material: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.90 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.55 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.

What moves the price
For phase change material, the drivers are hardness, set time, flow, dimension stability, auto-mix vs hand-mix, carrier, particle size, resorption rate — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale listings show wide spread by chemistry and form factor: raw bulk organic/inorganic PCM can be priced around $1.60–$3.20/kg for 10,000 kg lots, while specialty encapsulated or thermal-interface PCM products sell much higher per unit. The main price drivers are phase-change chemistry, encapsulation/polymer shell type, thermal range, and whether the product is raw material, microcapsule powder, pouch/pack, or a finished thermal pad. Realistic supplier routes are direct factory/marketplace sourcing for raw or semi-finished PCM, or branded electronics/medical thermal suppliers for higher-spec finished packs; custom printed medical-dental packaging would generally track the higher end of these ranges. Prices and MOQs from marketplace and supplier listings indicate lower unit costs at larger order quantities, but exact quotes vary heavily by formulation and packaging.
