Quality Control

Our production of 2-Methyl-2-Propenoic Acid Polymers With 2-Propenoic Acid, Ethyl 2-Propenoate And Polyethylene Glycol 2-Butenoate Alkyl(C=16~18) Ethers adheres to stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing for key parameters such as solids content, viscosity, pH, and residual monomers to ensure consistent performance and batch-to-batch reliability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are provided with each shipment. We operate in compliance with ISO 9001 standards and can support requirements for REACH, FDA, and other global regulatory frameworks as needed.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from strong bases and incompatible organic solvents. Under these conditions, the product remains stable for a minimum of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
