Purity & Clarity for Healthcare and Optical

High-purity TOPAS cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) provide low extractables for healthcare applications from transparent pharmaceutical containers and pre-filled syringes to surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and blister packs. These unique materials help biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturers deliver life-saving products in packaging with excellent moisture barrier and minimal surface interactions. Upcoming generations of medical packaging and devices increasingly rely on the design freedom delivered by pure, injection moldable TOPAS COC.

In addition to glass-like clarity and break resistance, TOPAS COCs deliver light and UV transmission, chemical resistance, high stiffness and strength, and good thermoforming capabilities. They can be sterilized by common methods and contain no BPA, halogens, or plasticizers.

In optical uses, TOPAS COCs provide superb optical performance beyond the capabilities of today’s standard transparent polymers, along with exceptional molding detail and high flow for thin parts. Key features include UV transmission below 300 nm, low birefringence, and low density (1.02 g/cm3). TOPAS COCs are well suited to meet the performance demands of microfluidic devices, light guides, cuvettes, microtiter plates, and optical films.
