[alt-photo] Re: PVA for SIZE & GUM ?

[Philippe Berger]

Henk,

I am on Belgium (Liège - Luik) 30 km of Maastrichtt

I am 500 gr of Mowiol 8.8 to sell ???

Are you interesting, it is very very difficult to find on little quantity

500 gr, it is very difficult, 1000 kg it is very easy with a TVA Number

Phone me of 00 32 4 369 34 96

Philippe.
