Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices
Laser welding has become a technology of choice
to join plastic parts of complex medical devices.
Also known as transmission welding, laser welding
is the process of using focused laser radiation to
bond two plastic parts, one that is transparent to
the laser energy and one that absorbs the energy.
Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent
implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

We have come to rely
on this common plastic because it is
convenient, lightweight, safe, cost
effective and highly recyclable.
THE CHALLENGES
Improving rPET Quality
• Reduce yellowing, improve color
and assure IV uniformity
Enhancing Bottle Performance
• Improve bottle strength, reduce
acetaldehyde and minimize
thread pulls & blowouts that
cause high scrap rates
Reducing Carbon Footprint
• Reduce energy consumption and
raw material usage while driving
product efficiencies
OUR SOLUTIONS
Aligning our work with sustainability
demands, we address those
challenges for rPET producers,
convertors and brand owners
alike with technologies to improve
both quality and performance,
ensuring the recyclability of plastic
packaging.

THE CHALLENGE
Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers,
a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to
create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced
quality, durability and aesthetics.
The new products
have been very well received by consumers, and have allowed
the company to address the competitive threat from all-plastic
sprayers
High-end product line = competitive advantage:
With Avient’s OnFlex-S TPE, developers successfully
designed and produced a new, high-end product line that
compares favorably with all-plastic sprayers in terms of
appearance, performance and durability
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/TPE_Overmolding_Solutions_for_Engineering_Thermoplastics.pdf
This is achieved by molding a soft
skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic.
The TPE chemistry and the type of
engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability.
The bond strength between the TPE and the engineering plastic was measured
by performing a “90o Peel Test”.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/Smarter Materials High Performance Thermoplastics.pdf
While
commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and
engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic
can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low
temperature impact.
Automotive: Demand for plastics to handle increasing temperatures
due to the proliferation of electronics in engine compartments and tighter spaces.
Most high-heat plastics
are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential
processing issues.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions Application Bulletin.pdf
Bio-polymers are already used with success in
different plastic products, notably in packaging,
but to be used in healthcare applications, they
need to be evaluated to the relevant protocols to
support regulatory compliance of the end article.
Avient provides pre-tested color and additive
concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize
the risk of non-compliance and support a more
sustainable profile for plastic products used in the
healthcare industry.
