Quality Control

Our Crystal Gum is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous specifications, including viscosity, degree of hydrolysis, and residual monomer content, to ensure compliance with USP, Ph. Eur., and FCC standards where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
