Adhesives, Sealants & Industrial Bonding calculator

Adhesive Storage Cost Calculator

Some adhesives require refrigeration, humidity control, flammable storage, lot segregation, or special handling. This calculator estimates storage cost so purchasing and operations can see the carrying cost of adhesive inventory beyond the purchase price.

What this calculator does

  • Estimate storage cost for adhesive inventory from stored units, storage cost basis, chargeable share, and fixed handling cost.
  • a purchasing manager needs to understand the cost of storing temperature- or shelf-life-sensitive adhesive
  • Returns estimated carrying or handling cost for adhesive and sealant inventory.

Formula used

  • Chargeable storage cost = stored adhesive inventory × storage cost basis × chargeable storage share
  • Adhesive storage cost = chargeable storage cost + handling/compliance cost
