Quality Control

Our (2-Methyloxiranyl)Methyl Methacrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity, and impurity profile determination via GC and HPLC, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for reactive monomers. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal purity and prevent premature polymerization.
