    Packing & Storage
    Packing Poly(ε-caprolactone) is packaged in a sealed, 500g amber plastic bottle, featuring detailed safety labeling and product identification.
    Container Loading (20′ FCL) Container Loading (20′ FCL) for Poly(ε-caprolactone): Approximately 12–14 metric tons, packed in 25 kg bags, palletized and shrink-wrapped for secure shipment.
    Shipping Poly(ε-caprolactone) is typically shipped as a solid in sealed, moisture-resistant containers to prevent degradation and contamination. It is non-hazardous and stable under normal shipping conditions. Standard transportation methods (by road, air, or sea) can be used, following regulations for non-dangerous goods. Avoid exposing the material to excessive heat during transit.
    Storage Poly(ε-caprolactone) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, as it is sensitive to hydrolysis. Store in tightly sealed containers to prevent contamination. Avoid exposure to strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Ideally, storage should be at room temperature or lower, and in a well-ventilated area to ensure product stability.
    Shelf Life Poly(ε-caprolactone) typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place, away from light.
    Application of Poly(ε-caprolactone)

    Molecular weight: Poly(ε-caprolactone) with high molecular weight is used in biodegradable sutures, where increased tensile strength ensures secure wound closure.

    Purity: Poly(ε-caprolactone) at 99% purity is used in drug delivery systems, where reduced impurities minimize cytotoxicity in vivo.

    Melting point: Poly(ε-caprolactone) with a melting point of 60°C is used in 3D printing filaments, where controlled thermal processing enables precise layer formation.

    Viscosity grade: Poly(ε-caprolactone) of low viscosity grade is used in electrospinning for tissue engineering scaffolds, where enhanced fiber formation yields uniform scaffold morphology.

    Particle size: Poly(ε-caprolactone) nanoparticles with a size of 200 nm are used in targeted drug carriers, where efficient cellular uptake increases therapeutic efficacy.

    Stability temperature: Poly(ε-caprolactone) stable up to 70°C is used in long-term implant materials, where thermal stability maintains performance during sterilization.

    Glass transition temperature: Poly(ε-caprolactone) with a glass transition temperature of -60°C is used in flexible packaging films, where low-temperature ductility prevents brittleness during cold storage.

    Degradation rate: Poly(ε-caprolactone) with a slow degradation rate is used in controlled release agricultural films, where extended polymer integrity provides prolonged active ingredient release.
