Quality Control

Our acrylic copolymer is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters such as solid content, viscosity, pH, and glass transition temperature (Tg) to ensure consistent performance and batch-to-batch uniformity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure to extreme heat. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
