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.
FUNCTIONALITY TARGET APPLICATIONS BLOOD COLLECTION REAGENT CONTAINERS/ KITS PIPETTE/ LABWARE SELF-TESTING/ POCT INSTRUMENT/ ACCESSORIES Colorants for coding for lab automation/ identification Wide range of colors in various polymers, available in ready-to-use formulation or concentrate adapted to your process Colors – low migration/ interference Ready-to-use formulation to avoid interference with analytical tests; extractable metal data Colors – biologically evaluated Reduced risk of non compliance to current and proposed regulations such as IVDR Color in PP, ABS, PC and high temperature polymers with UL listings Ready-to-use solutions/concentrates supporting Underwriters Laboratory requirements of electric enclosures Antistatic for PP, ABS, PC/ABS Permanent/non-migrating ready-to-use formulation; fast decay time independent of % relative humidity Clarifying PP Sorbitol-free, minimizing potential migration Laser marking for UDI replacing ink printing/labels Activation of the polymer to laser energy give high contrast solvent-free, high speed identification Laser welding for fast, reliable assembly of a range of polymers Custom concentrates and ready-to-use formulations for optically transparent and opaque colors while allowing laser transmission/absorption Nucleation of semicrystalline polymers e.g.

PolyOne Launches New Black Masterbatch Colorants with Sustainable Carbon Black
Derived from end-of-life tires, this new color concentrate is a sustainable alternative to those based on virgin carbon black.
It creates a smaller carbon footprint than virgin carbon black because it uses 90 percent less water and 61 percent less electricity while emitting 90 percent less carbon dioxide in its manufacturing process.*
“We continue to look for ways to help our customers meet their sustainability goals by developing products that are environmentally responsible,” says Kevin Jones, general manager, PolyOne Color & Additives, North America.
