Polyplastics Group Topas® 6015S-04Product DescriptionTOPAS 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 and dry heat sterilization protocols, as well as gamma and EtO procedures.Selected Applications Drug delivery Prefilled syringes, vials, cartridges Bottles and tubes Surgical instruments IV containers and components Labware Optics Electronics Food packaging Healthcare and food contact Leading Attributes Low leachables & extractables, low water transmission Non-ionic, does not promote adsorption like glass Minimally reactive Chemically resistant to alcohol, acetone, and acrylates Transparent, withstands EtO/gamma/steam sterilization Temperature resistance, clarity and purity Clarity, low birefringence, low moisture sensitivity Low dielectric constant, thermoplastic Not manufactured with BPA, phthalates, or halogens Broad regulatory compliance Related Grades for Injection Molding, Healthcare, Optics and Diagnostics TOPAS 6013M-07 - broader processing window, best for blow molding (IBM/ISBM) TOPAS 6017S-04 - our most heat distortion resistant IM grade (HDT=170°C) Topas® 6015S-04Topas® 6015S-04 is a Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) product. It is available in Asia Pacific.Characteristics include: Flame Rated Copolymer
