Quality Control

Our Poly(2-Carboxyethyl) Acrylate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure consistent purity, molecular weight distribution, and acid value. Comprehensive testing includes assay, residual monomer content, and functional group analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and potential polymerization. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
