Colorants developed for healthcare, medical device, and pharmaceutical applications, now meet USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements when used with medical grades of Eastman Tritan copolyester. PolyOne’s OnColor HC Plus line of colorants has been pretested for the copolyester. Pretesting can shorter development times for medical device OEMs.

PolyOne’s OnColor HC Plus colorants are global formulations with biocompatibility approvals (USP Class VI, ISO 10993) in both liquid and masterbatch forms. Because PolyOne manufactures and produces OnColor HC Plus globally, customers are provided brand and regulatory consistency across their entire global footprint. According to the company, this enables healthcare and medical device users to streamline time to market and reduce regulatory compliance costs.
