TOPAS® 5013L-10 is a high flow, internally lubricated 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. This grade has a high heat distortion temperature to withstand 95°C PCR protocols, 121°C steam sterilization protocols, and gamma or EtO procedures. Key applications and attributes: - Labware: Temperature resistant with glass-like clarity; purity
- Microplates and biochips: Heat and chemical resistant, clarity and purity
- Microfluidics: Exceptional mold detail replication; machinable
- Optics: Clarity, low birefringence, low moisture sensitivity
- Electronics: Low dielectric constant, high flow, thermoplastic
- Cuvettes: More UV transparent than most resins
- Healthcare and food: Broad regulatory approval
