Give your silicone products a boost of color and maintain chemical standards with these specialty color dispersions These colorants are highly compatible with polyester systems, reacting to become part of your final cured product.

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. GLOBAL REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Our regional tech centers around the world offer regulatory support and product stewardship expertise to help you qualify your products BIO-COMPATIBILITY APPLICATIONS Bio-compatible additives and colorants, tested under USP Class VI and ISO 10993, allow your materials to achieve required functional performance while meeting brand and color standards STERILIZATION REQUIREMENTS A standard color range and deliberate formulations provide stability under harsh sterilization methods AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY Protect your brands with our Percept™ anti-counterfeit, security and tracking taggant technologies, or utilize radiopacifiers for placement protection LASER MARKING SOLUTIONS Optimized for color and contrast without diminishing physical property characteristics for branding, inventory management, data coding, or universal device identification PRODUCT & PROCESS OPTIMIZATION Maximize production throughput or eliminate waste with solutions including dimensional stabilization, cycle time reducers, chemical foaming agents, nucleation or hybrid technology ONCOLOR™ HC Colorants designed to be healthcare-friendly.

After three days of exposure to the hospital disinfectants, a 20x magnified image was taken of each set of bars to demonstrate the effect of the chemical. The problem is that most polymer device housings are not able to resist repeated exposure to the chemicals involved in disinfection without cracking, crazing, or otherwise losing structural integrity. Designed for two- shot injection molding and formulated for the appropriate substrate, these medical-grade TPEs are compatible with rigid PVC, copolyesters, all PC alloys, ABS, TPUs and PEI substrates.

These materials can also deteriorate with ultraviolet (UV) and chemical exposure from sunlight and cleaning. EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm). This technology also helps achieve superior grip properties, improving haptics for a better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV- resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and bio-compatible.
