Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions are color and performance-enhancing additive solutions specially formulated with bio-based polymers for healthcare applications.
As concentrates, the color and additive polymer solutions are incorporated into the virgin polymer at a specific ratio (a.k.a. let-down ratio).
As pre-colored formulations, they already contain the right amount of colorant and/or additive and can be used as such without dilution.

In addition to lighter weight, FRP composites enable longer lasting parts that are stronger than traditional metals, and offer fatigue and corrosion resistance.
Depending on the application, other materials such as foam are sandwiched between the polymer laminates to create certain properties.
