MedicalExcellence in colors

The medical industry is an extremely demanding, highly regulated market requiring stable formulations, supply continuity and an in-depth knowledge of polymers and their properties to ensure reliable and consistent product quality. At Granula Group, we understand the importance of selecting the appropriate high-performance compound, in order to meet design and cost specifications. Granula will work directly with manufacturers to assess specific material needs and to formulate customized additive solutions to achieve specific performance properties. Customers can rely on our expertise to avoid interactions between pigments, polymers and additives to arrive at a safe, functional and commercially successful end product.

Hygiene protection

To rule out potential hygienic hazards, medical devices and components are subjected to various sterilization procedures, which ideally should not impact the product properties. However, not all materials are able to withstand the rigors of the various sterilization techniques used, resulting in shrinkage, melting and warpage. Granula can develop tailor-made formulations to ensure these components and devices continue to meet the specified criteria.

Traceable safety

The possibilities are endless: at Granula, we produce a wide range of additives, including functional batches with antimicrobial and aseptic properties, UV protection and offering scratch or disinfectant resistance. If required, our color solutions for the medical market be designed to meet various testing requirements for medical device materials. Our product range also includes highly effective cycle time reducers for injection molding applications, and laser marking additives for indelible and durable marking solutions able to withstand sterilization processes.

Granula’s medical masterbatches and compounds are manufactured according to IS0 13485. We guarantee the total traceability of all our batches back through to the raw materials used and the parties supplying those materials. Also, all our masterbatches are manufactured under rigorous controls with regard to traceability, consistency and change control.
