(Photo: Clariant)Muttenz, February 12, 2014 – Clariant, one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals, In the Healthcare sector, coloration of plastics plays an important role in protecting patients by identifying drug types or doses, thereby reducing the risk of errors. However, these plastic packaging materials and the colorants in them need assessment of how they behave in contact with the drug during storage and use. These extractable and leachable studies on the packaging material, play an important role in medium and high risk applications such as ocular medicines, but if something changes in the polymers or masterbatches used to manufacture the packaging, then the data from the extractable and leachable studies may no longer be valid. To address these issues Clariant has used in dedicated expertise to create a new range of standard masterbatch colors, offering the benefits of the MEVOPUR® brand, tailored to the color standard developed by the American Society of Ophthalmology.
