Quality Control

Our Ethene, Homopolymer, Oxidized, Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance, including analysis of acid value, viscosity, and solid content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support customer audits and can provide material tailored to meet specific industry standards.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
