Product Description
TOPAS 6017S-04 is an injection molding grade with a high heat distortion temperature (170°C) and exceptional dimensional stability. 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 precision 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 excellent heat resistance to withstand 121°C and 134°C steam and dry heat sterilization protocols, as well as gamma and EtO procedures.
