Color can be added to plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging for brand recognition, increased appeal, or drug identification. Formulated with bio-based polymers and pre-tested raw materials, these color and additive solutions help reduce the carbon footprint of medical plastics and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.  Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

Switch to bio-based polymer solutions to color and enhance the performance of plastics in healthcare products Some polymer grades on the plastic market are already manufactured using renewable sources such as corn, sugar cane, and vegetable oil. However, until recently, these bio-based polymers were used in packaging and consumer plastic products, and most were not assessed for compliance with healthcare regulations.

How to minimize the risk of supply chain disruption for healthcare plastic colorants and functional additives Home // Securing Supplies for Medical Plastic Solutions The concentrates need to be diluted with virgin polymer during the conversion process to achieve the right amount of color or additive in the plastic.
