Dear all,

Hope you are all keeping well.

I am searching for polymers that can be used for contact lens carrier during manufacturing process to replace stainless steel that is currently used. The ideal material has to meet the following requirements:

* Good UV resistance
* Withstand 80 degree Celsius temperature
* Good mechanical properties, though it is not required to be stainless steel-like in this respect.
* Most importantly, it has to be FDA approved. Can someone also advice me on how to search FDA approved materials, please?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Mick

Not so long ago I saw a list of FDA approved plastics as IDES. I looked and managed to find the link for you!
