Quality Control

Our Cyclol Methacrylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, purity verification, and control of key impurities like residual monomer and inhibitors. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications and relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a recommended temperature of 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent premature polymerization.
