Launch of permanent antistatic and lubricant systems for plastics extends the recently introduced MEVOPUR® ISO/USP additive range
ISO10993 / USP pre-evaluated materials support the industry in establishing a clear extractable profile and simulation of potential leachables
Muttenz, February 9, 2012 - New possibilities to achieve cutting-edge permanent antistatic functionality for medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging take center stage among Clariant's innovations inspiring improvements in manufacturing process, product function and design appeal on-show at Medtec Europe 2012.
On-going extensions to Clariant's portfolio of Consistent, Controlled, Compliant MEVOPUR® additives and color masterbatches and compounds for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors, give brand-owners and device and packaging manufacturers new confidence in achieving greater cost-efficiency and differentiation for their products while helping to minimizing risk.
Clariant's launch of a permanent anti-static performance additive extends its recently-introduced additive range featuring ISO10993 / USP23 part 87, 88 Class VI biologically evaluated raw materials. The range provides step-change functionality in such areas as antimicrobial additives, surface lubrication, which may make extra surface coatings unnecessary. Examples of increased functionality include:
Lower surface friction: permanent and immediate lowering of friction between parts reduces force to rotate, slide and actuate may help to improve the functionality of metered dose devices, such as insulin pens. Further examples include reduction of insertion resistance for catheters or elimination of oils in syringe components. The additive offers an effective alternative to fluorine chemistries. The lower melt viscosity of the additive masterbatch improves mold release and helps avoiding mold deposits in the final product.
Additives focused on improving processing and costs are also included within the range, such as nucleants and process aids for faster cycle times and thinner walled products, laser marking for ink-free identification without solvent residues, and stabilizers to protect plastics materials from yellowing and loss of physical properties during gamma sterilization.
Highlights driving color and design creativity at Medtec 2012 include Clariant's Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) color range delivering glass replacement potential for pharmaceutical packaging and devices based on COC polymers such as TOPAS® from Topas Advanced Polymers GmbH.
This expands Clariant's ISO10993 / USP Part 87 and 88 pre-evaluated standard color range which offers vibrant colors for extra shelf-appeal and differentiation for such polymers as specialty polyether block amide (PEBA) and more widely used polyethylene and polypropylene materials.
"We are continually developing our range of MEVOPUR additives and color masterbatches and compounds, to offer the medical and pharmaceutical packaging sectors dedicated solutions that will enable them to be creative in their product performance and processing ambitions while offering the consistency, control and compliance required for their highly-sensitive applications," comments Steve Duckworth, Head of Global Segment Medical & Pharmaceutical, Clariant.
MEVOPUR products are produced at Clariant's three ISO 13485:2003 accredited dedicated centers of competence for medical and pharmaceutical applications in the United States, Asia and Europe, supporting international production, and offering back-up supply under a single umbrella.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
