Quality Control

Our Polyquaternium-6 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including assay, viscosity, and residual monomer content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as solids content, pH, and charge density are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
