(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.

(Clariant internal test data).Muttenz, February 12, 2014 – Clariant, one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals, supports the Healthcare industry with a range of products developed for medical devices and pharmaceutical plastic packaging. With its knowledge, Clariant’s MEVOPUR® nucleant product brings improvements in the process of plastic packaging fabrication. Thanks to them the processing time can be reduced; mechanical properties improved and so companies can save time and increase the productivity. The nucleating agents used in MEVOPUR products are pre-tested using extraction protocols such as those established by US Pharmacopeia, ISO and NEW European Pharmacopeia monograph 3.1.3; the goal is helping companies to meet the challenging regulatory requirements to support “Controlled, Consistent and Compliant”.

Clariant launches new ‘EP’ masterbatch range for pharmaceutical packaging at Pharmapack Europe 2014 Paris

ClariantMuttenz, February 12, 2014 – Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, Since the launch of the MEVOPUR® range of masterbatch and compounds for Healthcare applications at the end of 2010, Clariant has been active in bring new ideas and products to the market, with the objective of ‘Enhancing Products and Process’ and ‘Protecting the Patient and the Drug’. In particular in the last 12 months, new additive masterbatches have attracted high interest because Clariant had pre-tested the raw materials for the masterbatches using the extraction and biological evaluation protocols of US Pharmacopeia (USP) 23 parts 87 and 88. However initial feed-back raised the question of whether the substances were also listed European Pharmacopeia chapter 3.1.3 (EP 3.1.3). Clariant has reacted to this feed-back and recently completed a test programme on raw materials of its masterbatches, and is now offering products that use raw materials that have been pre-evaluated to both the above USP and EP standards.
