Topas Advanced Polymers TOPAS® 6013S-04 Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC)

Categories:  Polymer; Thermoplastic; Cyclo Olefin Polymer
 
Material Notes:  TOPAS® 6013S-04 is a general purpose injection molding grade with a 130°C heat distortion temperature. It is a glass-clear amorphous polymer with outstanding moisture barrier, chemical resistance, high purity and a non-reactive surface making it an excellent choice for healthcare and other high-tech products. Lower leachables and extractables of TOPAS COC preserve food and drug stability and quality. It is a non-polar substrate that does not promote adsorption, denaturation, aggregation, or precipitation like glass can. This grade has a high heat distortion temperature to withstand 121°C steam sterilization protocols, as well as gamma and EtO procedures.
Key applications and attributes:

•Drug delivery: Low leachables & extractables, low water transmission
•Prefilled syringes, vials, cartridges: Non-ionic, does not promote adsorption like glass
•Bottles: Minimally reactive, EtO/gamma/steam sterilizable
•Surgical instruments: Chemically resistant to alcohol, acetone, and acrylates
•IV containers and components: Transparent, withstands EtO/gamma/steam sterilization
•Labware: Temperature resistance, clarity and purity
•Optics: Clarity, low birefringence, low moisture sensitivity
•Electronics: Low dielectric constant, thermoplastic
•Healthcare and food: Broad regulatory approval
