Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
Improve Performance, Mitigate Risk
Mevopur™ healthcare functional additives help protect or enhance the performance of the polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging, supporting your goal of delivering safe and reliable treatments. These additives are fully supported by regulatory testing to USP, EP and ISO standards and manufactured under EN:ISO13485 protocols that enable them to be evaluated in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging applications.
Mevopur healthcare functional additives cover a wide range of functionalities such as friction reduction, gamma sterilization protection, UV protection for transparent packaging, radiopacity, reduction of static build-up, and clarifying of transparent applications. Additive solutions that support more sustainability are also available. Examples are additives for ink-free laser marking and adhesive-free laser welding assembly, chemical foaming agents for reduced material use, and solutions based on bio-polymers.
These functional additives are available as ready-to-use additive formulations, additive concentrates, or combination solutions where the additive functionality is included with the desired color in a concentrate or ready-to-use formulation for convenience.

| Product Type | Applications | Description/Product Features | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antistatic additives | Medical devices, drug delivery devices, labware | Antistatic concentrates help reduce charge-related dust accumulation for increased visual appeal ; they can also improve the dosing accuracy of powder substances | |
| Bio-based solutions | Pharmaceutical packaging, drug delivery devices, in vitro diagnostic equipment, labware | these additive solutions are formulated with bio-based resins to help reduce the carbon footprint of healthcare products ; they are drop-in solutions | |
| Chemical foaming agents | Heavy or high-production volume plastic parts | Chemical foaming agents produce a cellular structure that helps reduce the weight and plastic material consumption for a more sustainable profile | |
| Gamma/e-beam sterilization protection | Various healthcare applications | These additive solutions help preserve the properties of polymers with reduction in yellowing using Color Compensation Technology (CCT) | |
| Laser marking | Various applications to include prints on the plastics e.g., expiry dates, bar codes, QR codes, graduations | Laser marking additives promote high-quality fine markings without the use of solvents | |
| Laser welding | Various healthcare devices and equipement e.g., wearable patch sensors, cartridges, housings and surgical instruments | These polymer solutions enable high-quality seams and adhesive-free assembly ofplastic parts through laser welding | |
| Nucleating agents | Drug delivery devices, pharmaceutical packaging, medical equipment | Nucleating agents help neutralize the effect of pigments on mechanical properties to avoid warping and shrinking | |
| UV stabilizers | Pharmaceutical packaging | These UV additives allow UV blocking in the 290Ð450nm range with no impact on clarity for transparent packaging |
