Custom color masterbatches pre-tested to ISO, US Pharmacopeia, European Pharmacopeia, and ICH Q3D protocols to boost visual appeal Color design services, including color consultation, color trend forecast, and collaborative design of color and special effect concepts

Using pre-colored solutions from Transcend Premier Healthcare Colorants, the customer was able to deliver high-quality medical instruments that can not only withstand chemical disinfectants but are also easier to visually differentiate. These resins also maintain dimensional stability while providing chemical resistance against the effects of harsh cleaning agents.  

It creates different visual textures that can look like one color when viewed from a distance but, when viewed close-up, can appear to have a grading effect.

Gravi-Tech REC formulations enable visual surface effects and aesthetics, including electroplated metallic finish, cool touch, and color variation.

Cesa WithStand SX additives can help preserve visual clarity and aesthetics in finished plastic parts while offering protection against bacterial, mold, and fungal growth.

The bars were then evaluated each day for visual changes. After three days of exposure to the hospital disinfectants, a 20x magnified image was taken of each set of bars to demonstrate the effect of the chemical. Visual inspection of the bars was used to classify the bars based on the amount of crazing or cracking which occurred.
