Pre-tested colorants help to reduce customers' development times and costs
Address industry concerns regarding change minimization and adulterated drugs
Muttenz, March 13, 2012 - Color can boost the on- and off-the-shelf appeal of packaged medicines. Clariant is offering a globally-available MEVOPUR® standard color range of pre-tested ISO10933/USP 23 Part 87 and 88 colorants for pharmaceutical packaging. The range's new MEVOPUR colors for TOPAS® cyclic olefin (COC) polymers from Topas Advanced made their European debut at Pharmapack 2012 in Paris.
Clariant's pre-evaluated MEVOPUR colorants help to reduce customers' development times and costs, and minimize risk of change during the product life-cycle. Masterbatches and compounds utilizing these colorants help to address the industry concern regarding drug adulteration caused by leaching of substances from the plastics packaging. By providing documentation on testing of ingredients using USP 23 parts 87, 88 and ISO10093 test protocol Clariant supports converters and pharmaceutical companies to establish a basis for a clear extractable profile and simulation of potential leachables.
"Within the pharmaceutical packaging sector there has been increased awareness of, and much discussion of extractables and leachables from plastics and how changes in the materials may often result in unintended contamination of the drug," comments Steve Duckworth Clariant's Head of Global Segment Medical & Pharmaceutical. "By offering a pre-evaluated range of colorants, we give our customers the confidence and ability to explore exciting new color options for their packaging, knowing that the risks and the costs of a failure in late stage development or product-life cycle are reduced."
Clariant's MEVOPUR standard colorants are based on biologically-evaluated ingredients using the test protocols of USP 23 parts 87, 88 for Class VI devices or ISO10993 parts 4, 5, 10, 11 and 18. "The USP 23 part 87 and 88 is one of the long established industry protocols for evaluation of extractables for higher risk drug / packaging interactions particularly in ocular, nasal and parenteral drugs" explains Duckworth. "The pharmaceutical packaging industry has a limitation that many polymers, pigments and additives do not have any status in regulations such as European Pharmacopeia, so having this type of data helps our customers to have confidence to move forward with their approval processes."
In line with Clariant's "Controlled, Consistent, Compliant" approach for its medical and pharmaceutical customers, the colorants are manufactured at its three ISO 13485:2003 registered dedicated medical and pharmaceutical centers of competence based in the USA, Europe and Asia. The standard colors are available on short lead-times with supporting documentation to accelerate the development and approval process. Production from the same raw materials at all three sites supports customers' global production and back-up requirements, and helps to speed up development by eliminating the need for expensive and time consuming revalidation.
The MEVOPUR ISO10933 /USP color range introduced in 2011 with up to 17 colors for widely used polyethylene and polypropylene materials has been further extended into newer materials of interest to packaging development engineers. Responding to the interest in glass-like polymers, the range was expanded to include the transparent polyester co-polymer Tritan™ for Eastman Chemical Company, and new colors for TOPAS cyclic olefin (COC) from Topas Advanced. The TOPAS polymers offer glass-like clarity, temperature and chemical resistance whilst providing the safety aspects of a tough polymer. The MEVOPUR colorants complement these properties by offering colors to differentiate the product or to block UV, thereby helping to protect UV sensitive pharmaceutical products.

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."

"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
