| TOPAS® 6015S-04 is a general purpose injection molding grade. 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 optics, 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 (150°C) heat distortion temperature to withstand 121°C and 134°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
- Food packaging: Not manufactured with BPA, phthalates, or halogens
- Healthcare and food: Broad regulatory approval
