Topas Advanced Polymers TOPAS® 6013M-07 Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC)

TOPAS® 6013M-07 is an injection molding grade with a wide processing window, especially suited for blow molding processes including IBM and ISBM. 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 (130°C) 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 Information provided by TOPAS Advanced Polymers
