APPLICATION PORTFOLIO DESCRIPTION
General use Opaque and transparent colors in PP, PE, COC, ABS,
POM, PC, TPU, PEEK, and more
Needle hubs and cannulae Opaque and translucent colors evaluated to ISO 6009
Ophthalmic caps and closures 13 standard colors in PE matched to American Academy of
Ophthalmology; biologically evaluated to USP standard
White pharmaceutical packaging White colorants for PE, HDPE, PP covering solid dose
to nasal packaging needs
Amber pharmaceutical packaging Pre-tested amber colorants
LSR silicones For LSR silicones and transparent color PET/PP (e.g. amber)
FUNCTIONALITY ADDITIVE PERFORMANCE
UV protection in transparent packaging Blocks UV in 290–450nm for PP, PE, PETG, COP
Processing aid/friction reduction Optimizes processing for PE, PP, ABS, POM—non-migrating
Nucleation for reduced material
consumption/cycle time
Improves thermal and mechanical properties of PE and PP
and allows wall thinning to support sustainability
Clarifying Improves clarity of transparent PP applications with reduced
migration and improved thermal stability—sorbitol-free
Laser marking/welding Activates the polymer to absorb Nd-YAG laser
for fast reliable marking/assembly
Gamma/e-beam sterilization Preserves the properties of PP and COP,
reduces yellowing and compensates for discoloration
Anti-static Reduces static buildup in applications such as films in
API handling and inhaler spacers/nebulizers
Antioxidant Provides thermal protection during converting/
downstream sterilization
Anti-counterfeit/brand protection Covert and non-covert systems
SUPPORTING SUSTAINABILITY
TARGETS
As the need to integrate sustainability in the design
of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers
of medical devices, diagnostic products and
pharmaceutical packaging are looking for
materials with a more environmentally friendly
profile.
