Coloured medical-grade TPES
U
K developer of custom formulated thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) Elasto has introduced a new range of coloured medical grade of products.The Mediprene range is made from medical grade raw materials. This is to ensure that not only the pigments and carriers are compliant with USP Class VI or corresponding parts of ISO 10993 but also that the masterbatches are manufactured under rigorous controls with regard to traceability, consistency and change control, says Elasto.
In medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging colour is often used functionally to differentiate products and provide an easy method of identification. The vibrant colours achievable with coloured Mediprene compounds also give brand owners a means of adding value to their products and creating visual appeal.
