Rigid
cyclic olefin copolymers (COC) are not noted for their oxygen barrier property relative to widely used polyamide and ethylene vinyl alcohol.
In the case of
cyclic olefin copolymer replication of the features showed a slight dependence on the flow direction and distance from injection point, but the profile depth (aspect ratio 2:1) was the shallowest.
There was also plenty of news in materials, including a new tie-layer resin that bonds acrylic to TPO, the emergence of
cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) as modifiers for thermoformed polyolefins, and a new supplier of APET with ambitious plans to become the industry's leading producer.
The parts are usually made of Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) from Topas Advanced Polymers Inc., Florence, Ky.
Tekni-Plex, Inc., has introduced Tekniflex COCPCTFE, which it describes as the first films that combine the moisture protection of Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) (from Ticona) and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE).
The process can use 50-micron-thick film of polystyrene, polycarbonate, or
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC).
For its clarity, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, and ability to withstand gamma sterilization, Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) from Ticona was chosen for the mixing chamber and syringe of the Plexis Bone Void Filling System.
A new nigh-clarity grade of
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) has enabled the Cryovac unit of Sealed Air Corp., Duncan, S.C., to cut in half the haze of its Xenith3 soft-shrink packaging film.
Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) is a versatile high-performance thermoplastic from Ticona that the company reports is well suited to the performance and cost requirements of micro-structured components and systems for microfluidic applications.
The first profiles made of Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) were extruded last January by Ensinger-Hyde, Washington, Pa., using five different grades of COC from Topas Advanced Polymers (formerly part of Ticona), Florence, Ky.
The moisture barrier properties of Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) from Ticona have enabled the Henkel Group of Dusseldorf to use a simpler and less costly type of packaging for its Sil stain-removing powder.
(Mannedorf, Switzerland) is a CD-sized disc molded from Ticona's Topas
cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) designed to perform 48 drug-screening assays simultaneously.
