Clariant North America medical and pharmaceutical manager Eric Rohr said that the company has already completed USP-compliance testing for pigment and additive ingredients in its Mevopur and Remafin-EP product ranges for pharmaceutical packaging applications.
With the completion of the tests, the company has opened new options for manufacturers who intend to change their drug packaging.
Clariant has also been selected as a distributor of Austria-based firm Borealis’ Bormed solutions of dedicated healthcare polyolefins.
Under the agreement, Clariant will be able to sell the complete Bormed portfolio of homopolymer and random copolymer polypropylene (PP), in addition to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resins.
