COLORANTS & ADDITIVES
FOR HEALTHCARE
Essential polymer solutions
for critical healthcare applications
WHEN MATERIAL EXPERTISE IS
CRITICAL
AESTHETIC APPEAL
Regulatory compliant and
approved masterbatch colors
use custom polymer colorants
to achieve any shade
SPECIAL EFFECTS
Enhance your brand and stand
apart with pearlescent, metallic,
iridescent, fluorescent or
thermo-chromatic effects
SOLID TO LIQUID
SOLUTIONS
Choose from a full range of
available color solutions,
from liquid color to solid
product forms
ANTIMICROBIALS
Efficacy performance and
regulatory requirements are
met in a wide range of resins
compatible with Withstand™
antimicrobial technology
SURFACE ENERGY
MODIFICATION
Additive technologies such as
low retention, hydrophobic,
lubricious, light diffusion, or
anti-stat provide desired surface
manipulation
Materials used for today’s medical devices, parts and pharmaceutical packaging contribute significantly to
performance and, in turn, to a patient’s health and well-being.
Select from an already
approved range of color concentrates, or let us develop custom
formulations based on your needs.
Combine your OnColor HC colorants and
OnCap HC additives into a single Smartbatch™ formulation.

Choose Your Color Wisely
Color choices have traditionally been limited for these materials because the high
temperature required to process them destroys many pigments that are used in engineering
thermoplastics.
