Quality Control

Our production of Sodium Acrylate/Methacrylate Copolymer adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including viscosity, solids content, pH, and residual monomers to ensure consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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); containers must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
