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.

Avient’s Color Prediction Service (CPS) is the first digital tool of its kind that can illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials.
As early adopters of our PCR Color Prediction Service, L’Oréal achieved consistent colors across various PCR grades in different countries, enabling them to launch with fewer color iterations and color trials, thereby reducing complexity and increasing speed.”

WHY DAIRY PRODUCTS REQUIRE
PROTECTION FROM LIGHT
Certain components of dairy and dairy alternative
products are susceptible to light-induced oxidation.
DAIRY PACKAGING OPTIONS
Dairy brands have employed various packaging
materials and formats to protect dairy products
from visible light including colored glass, laminated
paperboard cartons, and multilayer plastics.
