Plastic COC components and diffusion bonded microfluidics
This very new material is now being leveraged for applications where other materials, such as acrylic, could not perform. Cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) is utilised by IPFL for many medical and pharmaceutical applications as well as diagnostics and scientific analysis.
COC stands out with its high heat distortion temperature, approximately 30°C higher than acrylic (PMMA). This makes it perfect for applications requiring thermal stability. Despite its robustness, COC maintains a level of optical clarity comparable to PMMA, which is essential for precise imaging and analytical applications.
Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) revolutionizes precision machining with its high thermal stability and optical clarity, outperforming traditional materials like PMMA. Its low water absorption rate enhances its use in precision-critical environments. Widely used in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and scientific sectors, COC’s biocompatibility and chemical resistance make it ideal for a range of demanding applications. At IPFL, COC is expertly machined to deliver innovative, reliable, and precise manufacturing solutions. We at IPFL elevate precision engineering with cutting-edge technology, pioneering Diffusion Bonded COC Microfluidics to redefine possibilities.
