Benefits Over Glass: Cost: 1/4 to 1/10 the cost of glass syringe luer lock syringe assemblies Shatter Resistance: Will not shut down pharma filling production line Weight: <50% that of glass thus reducing shipping costs Design Flexibility: Finger grips, luer tip style, back stop - molded in features Very Low Protein Absorption Benefits Over Polypropylene (PP): Higher Purity Higher Modulus Glass-like Clarity Sterilizability Greater Chemical/Heat Resistance Higher Moisture Barrier Low Moisture Absorption Rate COC features glass-like clarity while also being break-resistant, lightweight, and withstanding conventional sterilization methods. It is suitable for a range of medications, including viscous drugs, and provides for an extended shelf life. The unique processing methods allow for the production of a high quality product that exceeds the accuracy and performance standards set by glass syringes.
