Quality Control

Our production of 2-Propenoic Acid Polymer With Ethenylbenzene And (1-Methylethenyl)Benzene, Potassium Salt adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in viscosity, solids content, pH, and ionic character. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters 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/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can alter product characteristics. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
