Quality Control

Our Poly(Bisphenol A Carbonate) is manufactured under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of tests including intrinsic viscosity, melt flow rate, thermal properties, and optical clarity measurements. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key specifications are provided with each shipment. We can supply grades compliant with various international standards, including FDA, USP Class VI, and REACH, for specific application needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Although polycarbonate has low hygroscopicity, prolonged exposure to high humidity should be avoided to prevent potential hydrolysis during high-temperature processing. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
