A new series of premier healthcare colorants formulated to provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance was highlighted recently by Avient at Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) West. Intended for medical applications, the Colorant Chromatics Transcend series is reportedly available in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors.

According to the company, the new Transcend line has the high temperature/high performance qualities of Avient’s traditional Colorant Chromatics colorants, but the new healthcare line means raw materials are tested to ISO 10993, and compliant with food contact. The series comprises a standard range of colors (19 opaque and 7 transparent) which were specifically formulated as more bright, vibrant tones to achieve clean, pleasing colors in the healthcare space. This reportedly counteracts a natural amber, or yellowing, appearance of polysulfones.

Avient says, this array of colors is unique in that they chose 26 standard colors that customers could directly order in concentrates or pre-color solutions that have been tested to ISO10993. This provides healthcare OEMs a wide array of aesthetically-pleasing color options, quick decision-making, and manufacturing flexibility when seeking their next device colors to help differentiate their brands. This is in addition to the thousands of color and functional options that can be customized or tailored specifically to the customer’s needs.
