COC Polymer

Pharmaceutical containers made of COC - an advanced cyclic olefin copolymer of the highest purity - are break resistant, light weight and transparent with a glass-like appearance. COC high tech polymer shows excellent barrier properties, no ion or heavy metal release, and a lower particle level than glass. The high moisture barrier enables the long-term storage of drugs – even in small containers. High design flexibility allows customized solutions.

SCHOTT has more than 10 years of experience with COC for pharmaceutical applications. This is a very good alternative to glass.

SCHOTT is selling products made of TOPAS® COC polymer under the brand SCHOTT TopPac^®
