COPLUS™ Introduction
Overview:
COPLUS is a high-performance polymer based on cyclic olefin structures, offering the following properties:
- High heat resistance (High Tg)
- Low water absorption
- Excellent light transmittance

Key Features:
1. Advantages from the cycloaliphatic structure:
- High rigidity
- Low water absorption
- High transparency
- Heat resistance
- Low dielectric constant


2. Customizable functionality:
- Specific functionalities can be tailored by introducing functional groups, such as solvent solubility, hardening, - Meets diverse client demands, suitable for various applications.


Ongoing Developments and Applications:
1. Low-Refractive-Index COPLUS
- Adjust refractive index by controlling structural inclusion.
- Provides solubility and crosslinking capabilities for optical and coating applications.
2. PFAS-free Hydrophobic Coatings
- Compliant with EU regulations (ECHA) on PFAS, avoiding fluorine-containing materials.
- Offers excellent water and oil repellency, widely applicable in semiconductor and coating industries
