Mevopur colorants can be used for various needs, such as brand recognition and differentiation, drug identification, and visual appeal.
Likewise, Mevopur functional additives can help to protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical packaging.
The Mevopur product line also includes color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70%-100% bio-content and pre-tested raw materials which can help to reduce carbon footprint and offer alternatives to fossil-based grades.
