HIGH PURITY

ZEONEX is extremely pure. Residual metals content is less than 0.02ppm.

"GLASS-LIKE" TRANSPARENCY

The ability to visually check the level and quality of drugs during injection/dispensing can be critical. ZEONEX’s 92% high transparency allows for easy inspection of the drug.

ZEONEX has a higher level of transparency than conventional medical plastics, which can tend to be hazy.

STERILIZATION

Mechanical properties of devices made from ZEONEX have no significant change after steam, ethylene oxide or gamma sterilization.

The heat distortion temperature of ZEONEX 690R is shown on the below chart.

LOW WATER ABSORPTION

ZEONEX’s extremely low water absorption allows drugs to be stored for longer periods of time as compared to other medical plastics.

BREAK RESISTANT

ZEONEX is ideal for drugs where there is risk of breakage during transit or during use. This includes replacement of glass syringes and vials.

OVERCOME PROTEIN ADSORPTION AND pH SHIFT CONCERNS

ZEONEX is optimal for protein and peptide-based drugs where there are concerns about adsorption with glass and lyophilized drugs where there is a concern regarding pH shift of the diluent.

SUPERIOR MOLDABILITY

ZEONEX can be molded for pre-filled syringes and pen injector cartridges ranging from <10ml to 100ml in size. And, for vials and bottles, ZEONEX can be molded in sizes from a few ml to >250ml.

The toughness of ZEONEX allows for larger, more integrate molding than with COC plastics.
