Quality Control

Our production of 2-Propenoic Acid, 2-Methyl-, Methyl Ester, Polymer With Tridecyl 2-Propenoate adheres to stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is characterized for critical parameters including molecular weight distribution, monomer content, viscosity, and glass transition temperature (Tg). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks, including REACH.

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). Keep away from heat sources and open flame. Under these conditions, the product is typically stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. For optimal performance, allow the material to reach ambient temperature before use if stored in a cold environment.
