These colorants and additives are pre-certified to meet USP Class VI or ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing for global healthcare applications, such as medical devices, pharmaceutical, and health & wellness products. We can now offer expanded resin families that incorporate biocompatible functional additives, in both masterbatch and compounded forms, that meet or exceed industry standards for USP Class VI or ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing.” Functional performance additives that are now tested and certified for biocompatibility include antimicrobials, surface energy modifiers, content protection additives, laser-marking, and dimensional and physical property modifiers. 

Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design. Plastic / metal hybrid designs can bring the best of both worlds – reduced weight and structural integrity.
