Avient uses a “systems approach” to develop the
laser welding solution most adapted to your project,
taking into consideration the following aspects:
• Transmitting and absorbing parts
• Polymer type and grade
• Dispersion of the additive in the final part
• Sufficient and consistent loading of the additive
• Part design: attention to flow separation at the
welding interface
• Color and opacitiy
• Quality control – e.g. establish suitable control
parameters (UV Visible Spectra)
• Laser wavelength and processing parameter
Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
formulated for laser welding are designed for use
in healthcare applications.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites,
providing global consistency and increased
security of supply
• Documented change control beyond CAS
number, reducing risk of change
• Available as additive concentrates, ready-to-use
additive formulations or ready-to-use additive/
colorant formulations for different polymers
REGULATORY SUPPORT
