Specialty chemicals producer Clariant has launched a range of Mevopur colour and functional additives to be used in high performance spun bond fibres for use in medical applications. Mevopur colour and additive masterbatches are available in seven ISO10993/USP colours like Yellow, Orange, Red, Violet, Dark Blue, Mid Blue, and Green.

According to the company, since pigments and additives used to colour or modify the polymer, potentially increase the risk of extraction and interaction if the products come in contact with bodily fluids, these applications often require extraction and biological evaluation to standards such as US Pharmacopeia (USP) or similar.

Mevopur masterbatches and compounds provide the makers of medical and pharmaceutical products with change-controlled, raw material additives and masterbatches, complete with regulatory documentation to support their use in healthcare applications.

“Every Mevopur product combines excellent application performance with documentation of the biological evaluation of its raw material ingredients to USP chapters (Class VI) and ISO10993 requirements,” Clariant added. (AR)
