Quality Control

Our 2-Ethoxyethyl 2-Cyanoacrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing key parameters such as assay, viscosity, and stabilizer content. Our quality commitment aligns with ISO 9001 standards, and we can support compliance requirements for specific industrial or regulatory frameworks upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize shelf-life and inhibit premature polymerization. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept sealed and under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening.
