Quality Control

Our Phthalic Anhydride, Fumaric Acid, Tricyclodecanedimethanol Polymer is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for key parameters including acid value, viscosity, gel time, and thermal properties to ensure consistency and performance for your specific application. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request, and we can support compliance needs for relevant 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). Keep away from strong acids, organic solvents, and sources of heat or ignition. The material should be kept under an inert atmosphere if prolonged storage is anticipated to prevent moisture absorption or premature curing.
