Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Medical Devices & Equipment Medical Device Trays and Kits

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives: help protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical packaging. These functional additives enable the material surface to repel water or other liquids to deliver the last drop out of a package or devices such as pipette tips. Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: high-temperature solutions developed specifically for medical applications.

They can be used in medical applications that include ergonomic grips, handles, gaskets, seals, IV connector caps, and diagnostic testing devices. The new range contains shades commonly used in medical devices: yellow, mid and dark grey, mid green, light and dark blue, white, and black. Introduced in 2021, the Mevopur portfolio also includes custom color and additive concentrates and ready-to-use formulations made with bio-based polyolefins, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or styrenic polymers.
