Quality Control

Our Ethyl cis-β-Cyanoacrylate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure high chemical purity and isomeric consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to maximize shelf life and prevent premature polymerization. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; containers must be kept sealed under dry conditions and away from heat sources and polymerization initiators.
