Colorant & Additive Solutions for Appliances There are several advantages to incorporating colorants and performance additives in the form of masterbatches (concentrates) during the molding of plastic parts. Others, such as glossy metallic paint effects, do not only help increase appeal but offer more sustainable, VOC-free alternatives to paint and coatings. Our light stabilizer additives have high additive loadings for increased efficiency.

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. FUNCTIONALITY TARGET APPLICATIONS BLOOD COLLECTION REAGENT CONTAINERS/ KITS PIPETTE/ LABWARE SELF-TESTING/ POCT INSTRUMENT/ ACCESSORIES Colorants for coding for lab automation/ identification Wide range of colors in various polymers, available in ready-to-use formulation or concentrate adapted to your process     Colors – low migration/ interference Ready-to-use formulation to avoid interference with analytical tests; extractable metal data    Colors – biologically evaluated Reduced risk of non compliance to current and proposed regulations such as IVDR     Color in PP, ABS, PC and high temperature polymers with UL listings Ready-to-use solutions/concentrates supporting Underwriters Laboratory requirements of electric enclosures   Antistatic for PP, ABS, PC/ABS Permanent/non-migrating ready-to-use formulation; fast decay time independent of % relative humidity   Clarifying PP Sorbitol-free, minimizing potential migration   Laser marking for UDI replacing ink printing/labels Activation of the polymer to laser energy give high contrast solvent-free, high speed identification     Laser welding for fast, reliable assembly of a range of polymers Custom concentrates and ready-to-use formulations for optically transparent and opaque colors while allowing laser transmission/absorption    Nucleation of semicrystalline polymers e.g.

FISCHBACH, Luxembourg – PolyOne Corporation today announced that advanced, halogen-free material solutions are helping Schneider Electric to engineer better product performance, improve efficiency and strengthen its globally recognized sustainability strategy. In addition to its non-halogen formulation, the regulatory-compliant Maxxam solution has a lower density than traditional materials, which reduces material consumption and housing weight for greater production efficiency.

Concerns about phthalates are well documented and with the entire category under scrutiny, current industry practice has been to label products containing terephthalates, thought by many to be safe, as “non-phthalate” or “phthalate free” in order to avoid unnecessary deselection. In addition, specific healthcare formulations are pre-certified to meet biocompatibility requirements for United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Class VI protocols.

Additional processing and performance highlights include a wide service temperature, low flammability, excellent electrical and mechanical properties, good chemical resistance, and exceptional weatherability. Metal-free formulations to boost color consistency and increase speed to market
