Description

Ocufilcon F CAS NO 33410-59-2 is a high-purity, hydrophilic contact lens material belonging to the family of poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (pHEMA) copolymers. This advanced polymer is engineered for exceptional biocompatibility and oxygen permeability, which are critical for ocular health and comfort. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the medical device and ophthalmic industries for producing soft contact lenses and other hydrogel-based biomedical applications.

Application

• Soft Contact Lens Manufacturing: The primary application as a key monomer/polymer component for daily wear, extended wear, and disposable hydrogel contact lenses.
• Ophthalmic Medical Devices: Used in the production of corneal shields, bandage lenses, and drug-eluting ocular inserts due to its high water content and biocompatibility.
• Hydrogel Biomaterials: Serves as a base material for developing advanced hydrogels used in tissue engineering scaffolds and wound dressings.
• Pharmaceutical Applications: Potential use in controlled-release drug delivery systems where a hydrophilic, non-irritating polymer matrix is required.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D settings for synthesizing novel polymeric materials with specific hydration and mechanical properties.

Quality Control

Our Ocufilcon F is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity suitable for medical device applications. While specific grades may vary, our standard quality commitment includes rigorous testing for residual monomers, molecular weight distribution, and ionic content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your regulatory and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect material properties.
