Quality Control

Our production of Hexanedioic Acid, Polymer With .Alpha.-Hydro-.Omega.-Hydroxypoly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as acid value, hydroxyl value, viscosity, and molecular weight distribution. 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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
