1)    Aesthetics Visual choices of parts are typically tailored to the type of raw material used to formulate the final product. Here are thoughts to consider when evaluating the visual opportunities of recycled raw materials: Depending on the application or industry, products can require more attention to their visual appearance to meet customer needs. 

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Nucleating Agents Colors are used in the medical industry for brand recognition, the coding of different pharmaceuticals, or visual appeal. The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes nucleating agents that neutralize the negative effect pigments can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part.

Go beyond color with special effects to distinguish product in new ways, using your existing equipment. Ideas include: • Molded-in metallic • Granite or frost effect • Glow-in-the-dark • Laser marking Optimize Processing Time is money—customized solutions can help you reduce cycle times and handle color changeovers more quickly. We’ll provide step-by-step guidance, and visualization through in-house sampling with various processing techniques: • Injection stretch blow molding (ISBM) • Extrusion blow molding (EBM) – up to four layers • Injection molding Our polymer science proficiency, colorants and additives capability, and in-house color design service make us a powerful collaborator during the complete blow molding process.
