FAQ
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: The regular MOQ is 25kg (standard one bucket); sample testing is also supported.
Q: What is the sample policy?
A: Samples are free of charge, and the shipping cost is borne by the buyer (prepaid); samples are sealed with aluminum foil and come with COA, TDS, and SDS. Samples are generally sent out within 1-2 working days.
Q: How long is the delivery cycle?
A: Regular purity is available in stock: 3-5 working days; custom specifications: 7-10 working days, as confirmed in the order confirmation sheet.
Q: Is the product prone to moisture? Can it still be used after getting wet?
A: The BPDA acid anhydride group is extremely prone to hydrolysis upon contact with water. After absorbing water, the anhydride value decreases, and the polymerization activity deteriorates, directly affecting the film performance. Severe moisture absorption is not recommended for use; after opening, try to use it all at once, and reseal the remaining materials.
Q: What are the storage conditions and shelf life?
A: In a cool, dry, and ventilated warehouse, with a temperature of ≤35℃, strictly moisture-proof, away from acids, alkalis, and strong oxidants; the original packaging is sealed intact and has a shelf life of 24 months.
Q: What documents can be provided?
A: Chinese and English SDS, TDS, COA factory test reports; relevant supporting materials can be provided upon request, for overseas registration of customers.
Q: Can it be consolidated in a container?
A: Yes, consolidation in a container is possible; avoid water solutions, acid-base materials, and keep them isolated to prevent moisture absorption.
