Benefits of Cyclic Olefin Copolymer
Cyclic Olefin Copolymer, or COC, is an amorphous polymer. It’s a high-performance thermoplastic formed by combining norbornene with ethylene. This material exhibits the following characteristics:
- Low density
- High transparency
- Low birefringence
- Low water absorption
- Excellent water vapor barrier
- Variable heat deflection temperature
- High rigidity, strength, and hardness
- Good blood compatibility
- Excellent biocompatibility
- Great resistance to acids and alkalis
- Strong electrical insulating properties
- Good melt processability
- High flowability
Because COC is transparent, sterilizable, and biocompatible, it’s used in various medical devices applications.
Examples include:
- Test tubes
- Glass vials
- Needle injectors
- Inhalers
- Syringes
- Labware
- Mycobacteria growth tubes
- Prototyping
- Project Management
- Traditional Manufacturing
- Robotic Assembly
- Laser Ablation and Cutting
- Reagent, Coating, and Spotting
- Web Construction Lamination
- Rotary Construction Lamination
- High-Speed, Tight-Tolerance Manufacturing
- Flatbed Die Cutting
- Rotary Die Cutting
- High-Density Laser Perforation
- Inspection and Testing
- Assembly
- Packaging
- Sterilization
- Shipment
