Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions — to help reduce carbon footprint, this range of color and additive concentrates are formulated with bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and styrenic polymers, offering significant carbon footprint reductions of 70% to 120% compared to their fossil-fuel-based counterparts, and manufactured under the same quality management system as other Mevopur products, they are drop-in solutions that can be used like their fossil-fuel-based counterparts in the injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging
Mevopur™ chemical foaming agents — to reduce material use by up to 20% depending on part geometry and wall thickness, these biocompatible chemical foaming solutions are suitable for the injection molding and extrusion of polyolefins, styrenics, and copolymers

Injection and fill pressures will be different with PCR versus virgin resin due to viscosity inconsistencies of the PCR
Ensure that cooling in the molds is operating efficiently and is balanced, and plan on revising the injection and temperature profiles

Design, functionality, asthetics, performance needs
and value addition have opened the rigid substrate selection from commodity plastics to various engineering
thermoplastics and their alloys.

MITIGATING RISK AT EVERY STAGE
OF DESIGN AND PRODUCTION
Mevopur™ polymer solutions are trusted products
and services developed to help medical device,
diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging sectors
meet the growing challenges of product consistency,
compliance and reliability.
The cycle
time in injection molding can be reduced (10–15%
in PP) to support higher output and less energy
consumption.
Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent
implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.
