Healthcare Colorants

Color can be added to plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging for brand recognition, increased appeal, or drug identification. Avient’s portfolio of healthcare colorants includes standard and customized color solutions for a variety of polymers, from polyolefins, PC, PEBA, ABS, and styrenics to high-temperature polysulfone resins. The colorants are provided as concentrates to dilute into the virgin polymer during part manufacturing or as pre-colored formulations to use as such. They can be combined with additives into a single color/performance product for convenience. Pre-testing to healthcare protocols helps manufacturers mitigate the risk of non-compliance when registering their products.
