Quality Control

Our Poly(Acrylic Acid-Co-Acrylamide), Potassium Salt is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including viscosity, solid content, pH, residual monomers, and ionic character to ensure consistent performance and batch-to-batch reliability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing all specifications and test results.

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). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Keep away from incompatible materials.
