Poly (dioxanone)( PPDO)
For each batch a certificate of analysis is provided, showing the analytical data determined in our quality
control laboratory. Additional data may be made available upon request.
Description
Poly(dioxanone) is a homopolymer of p‐dioxanone(PDO) with an inherent
viscosity range from 0.5 to 3.0 dL/g. It is primarily used for medical device
applications and is suitable for all commonly used polymer processing techniques.

Packaging
Poly(dioxanone) can be supplied in 0.5 or 1 kg packages. Packaging consists
of a vacuum‐sealed inner bag of clean room grade PE and an outer bag of
aluminum coated polyester‐PE laminate.
Storage & Handling
Preferably stored in sealed package at low temperatures (‐15°C).
Allow the material to reach room temperature before opening the
packaging, in order to minimize the degradation caused by condensation of
water.
