<strong>COC</strong> has made inroads into LCD’s for their deep finish with clarity <strong>and</strong> hence used for light guide panels for LCD. The<br />

growth of <strong>COC</strong> is its versatility which finds privileged use in mobile screens, PDA’s <strong>and</strong> laptop screens but cost<br />

limitations restrict its use only to swanky high-end phones.<br />

The production capacity though touching 3000 tons is wanting for lack of confidence expressed in volume growth of<br />

<strong>COC</strong> but <strong>Cyclic</strong> <strong>Olefin</strong> <strong>Copolymer</strong> (<strong>COC</strong>) market still looks intact with <strong>COC</strong> used prolifically in LCD panels. Resin<br />

producers had started production cycles on films with production dem<strong>and</strong> resting globally near 20 million units by<br />

2006 <strong>and</strong> are on track to meet the sales figures justifying dem<strong>and</strong> figures.<br />

<strong>COC</strong> injection molded plates has seen highly successful applications in medical industry for its resistance to sterilization<br />

at higher temperatures. The pharmaceutical blister packaging is not finding any takers with this type of blister<br />

packaging offering immunity to the tablets though but too thick to push out. On that count PVDC packaging rates<br />

better with halogenated blister packaging proving more successful.<br />

Some normalcy is restored with packaging opening when <strong>COC</strong> is mixed with LDPE <strong>and</strong> track closures open <strong>and</strong> close at<br />

will. The bags are used to pack shredded cheese, etc. Segmentation of <strong>Cyclic</strong> <strong>Olefin</strong> <strong>Copolymer</strong> (<strong>COC</strong>) market by type<br />

includes resin grades, film grades. Segmentation of <strong>Cyclic</strong> <strong>Olefin</strong> <strong>Copolymer</strong> (<strong>COC</strong>) market by application includes<br />

packaging, healthcare, diagnostics, optics <strong>and</strong> electronics.<br />

<strong>COC</strong> is commercially produced in Germany at TICONA <strong>and</strong> Japan has commissioned two plants producing 5000<br />

tons/year <strong>and</strong> 1000tonne/year. The key stakeholders include Topas Advanced polymers, Inc., Dow chemical company,<br />

HIS <strong>Market</strong>, Dynasol elastomers, LCY Chemicals, Asahi Kasei, BASF, <strong>and</strong> CNPC. Laptops <strong>and</strong> PDA designs has motivated<br />

the two manufacturers to produce 20000 tons/year in the near future.<br />
