Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Bormed™ Resins Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help medical device, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging sectors meet the growing challenges of product consistency, compliance and reliability. They are adapted to your manufacturing process and available as either a ‘ready-to-use’ formulation or a concentrate that is diluted in the Bormed™ resin of choice.

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. The resin has a lower tensile modulus than the reinforcement and will fracture at lower loads in this direction. Fiber volume is the ratio of fiber to resin in a composite structure.

MULTIPURPOSE COLORANTS Polyethylene 1% Polypropylene 1% GP Polystyrene 1% HI Polystyrene 1–2% Acrylics (Opaque) 1% PBT Polyester 1% PET Polyester 1% Polyurethane 1–2% Polyamide (Nylon) 1% Acetal 1% SAN 1% ABS 1–3% PVC 1–3% Polycarbonate 1% Thermoplastic 1–3% Alloys & Blends 1–3% EVA 1% Filled Polymers 1–3% RECOMMENDED ADDITION RATES CONCENTRATE SELECTION Omnicolor colorants are generally selected because of their versatility where a wide range of polymers are processed and their availability for sale in small quantities. The carrier resin could cause performance problems in a few polymers. Actual color may vary depending on specific resin and processing conditions.

Avient’s new sustainable solutions are its breakthrough PCR Color Prediction Service for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, and its new polyolefin antioxidants, Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling. Using proprietary software, Avient experts measure resin characteristics to identify the gamut of colors that can be successfully reproduced in a specific PCR-based material. The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to prepare it for future recycling. 

PA-6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement. Excellent performance = customer satisfaction: The strength, impact resistance, low warpage and other properties of Bergamid resin helps ensure that HellermannTyton’s part meet stringent OEM requirements. And the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.

Initially launched at the K Show in October 2022, Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefins are formulated with both bio-based resin and/or filler from natural sources such as olive seed powder. They can be based on either prime or bio-based resin. Incorporating a bio-based resin with a natural filler further enhances sustainability and reduces product carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives.  

Transcend Premier Healthcare Colorants are being launched in polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resin, which can withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high heat sterilization to 150°C. These resins also maintain dimensional stability while providing chemical resistance against the effects of harsh cleaning agents. Additional iterations are in development for other high-performance resins, including polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU).

Gravi-Tech™ BIO bio-based formulations are density modified engineered polymers that contain partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources. Formulated with partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources Chemical resistance can be adapted depending on base resin as required

Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants are based in polysulfone resins, allowing the material to withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles as well as high heat sterilization to 150℃. Based in polysulfone resins for ultra-high performance Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density modified engineered polymers based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including ocean bound plastic waste. Based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including ocean bound plastic waste Chemical resistance can be adapted depending on base resin as required
