Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Diagnostic devices and consumables, now more than ever, play a vital role in delivery of safe treatements. Plastic materials offer opportunities and play an increasingly vital role: colors aid identification and automated laboratory processes while functional additives expand the usable property window of the polymer in areas such as surface chemistry or oxygen protection.

Rigid thermoplastic structures are overmoldable with softer thermoplastic elastomers to improve ergonomics or add additional impact protection. Inclusion of additional additives into long fiber composites can render molded articles radiopaque for medical diagnostic procedures. The inclusion of additives in addition to fiber reinforcement can provide thermoplastic composites with valuable performance enhancements that can expand their functionality and allow the creation of more effective products.

In addition to the diffusion, viscoelastic properties of the elastomer have an influence on the adhesion properties. In addition, several blends of the above polymers such as PC/ABS, PC/PETG, PC/PBT and PPO/PS have great commercial importance for several applications. In addition, various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.

In addition to common environmental simulation or functional performance testing services, Avient can also conduct individualized testing and simulations in order to optimize material formulations, product performance, or design.

Avient Additives for Wire & Cable • Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives: Flame- retardant additives that add or improve flame resistance. The inclusion of these additives can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests, even if the resin originally used is not flame retardant • Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that improve weather resistance and provide long term protection against weather degradation • Semi-conductive TPU formulations to enhance cable performance • Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking additives for durable cable marking. They provide excellent contrast for dark or light colors with high resistance to external friction or chemicals • Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives: Combines colorants and performance enhancing additives in a single formulation for easier dosing. e.g., long-term light stabilization additive and custom color in one pellet.

Cesa™ Light Additives for injection molded applications contain high additive loading to provide efficient protection against photochemical degradation. The additive concentrates can be customized to include colors and/or other additives, e.g., flame retardants, antistatic or laser marking additives. The white ABS plastic samples, produced with and without Cesa Light Additives, were exposed to simulated sunlight conditions using the weathering test ISO 4892- 2:2013.
