Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Chemical Foaming Agents (CFA) for Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical Packaging As the need to integrate sustainability in the design of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging are looking for materials with a more environmentally-friendly profile. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Manufactured under ISO 13485 procedures • Documented change control beyond CAS number, reducing risk of change • Can be used on common injection molding and extrusion machines—set-up support by a technical assistance team • Available for use in polyolefins, styrenics and copolymers • Can be combined with colorants REGULATORY SUPPORT • Raw materials tested to: - ISO 10993-1 - USP and (incl. class VI) - European Pharmacopeia, monograph 3.1.3/ 3.1.5 (polyolefin packaging materials) - USP (polyethylene) - Elemental impurities as per ICH Q3D • Registered Drug Master File (Type III) and/or Device Master File • Food contact according to USA FDA and EU norms APPLICATION BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight Healthcare use limitations apply—see below. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

This technology enables packaging manufacturers to create unlimited combinations of color and gloss to design a brilliant metallic look that demands attention. KEY CHARACTERISTICS Impress is designed for PET. PRODUCT BULLETIN APPLICATIONS • Beverages • Personal Care • Consumer Goods Compatible with: • PET • Injection blow molding TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS Impress is formulated using an additive that adds a brilliant ultra-glossy appearance to packaging made with semi-crystalline polymers.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Extends product shelf life and reduces waste • Maintains clarity and aesthetics of the bottle while keeping contents fresh • Located in the closure, eliminating the need to add a scavenger to the container wall • Allows unlimited design freedom, including lightweighting • Has achieved APR Critical Guidance Recognition • Allows up to 100% rPET usage • Does not negatively impact the PET or polyolefin recycle streams PRODUCT BULLETIN PROCESSING PARTICULARS Capture is designed to work with 1-piece HDPE and PP plug seal closures. It is comprised of two layers inside the closure, and can be manufactured using compression lining or injection molding processes.

And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package. CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE TO CONSUMERS • Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents found in cosmetic, personal care and household products • Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant with certain FDA and REACH regulations • Value – Economical alternative to silicone and over-engineered medical grade TPEs • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto the substrate including PP, ABS, etc. • Differentiation – Add color and texture to stand out from the competition • Recyclable – TPEs are compatible with most municipal recycle streams • Global Support – Avient is a global supplier with manufacturing and technical support in Europe, Asia and North America To learn more about chemical resistant GLS TPEs for packaging, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (+1.844.428.4368). Our FDA and REACH compliant Versaflex™ PKG TPEs provide options for designing aesthetically pleasing packaging components that withstand aggressive chemicals. * Regulatory compliance is offered for consideration only— limitations apply; please check with product stewardship.

Injection and fill pressures will be different with PCR versus virgin resin due to viscosity inconsistencies of the PCR  Ensure that cooling in the molds is operating efficiently and is balanced, and plan on revising the injection and temperature profiles

Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions are drop-in solutions that can be used the same way as conventional concentrates in the injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging. Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers series HC3810: translucent TPE formulations offering excellent colorability for injection molded parts and over-molding, developed to comply with ISO 10993-4 and -5, REACH SVHC, and RoHS

The wide range of translucent grades offers excellent colorability for injection molded parts and over-molding thanks to outstanding bonding to various thermoplastics, including Trilliant HC Healthcare Formulations. They can be processed on standard injection-molding machines and extruders and recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polymers.
