Infant care manufacturer Comotomo uses Avient color-matched Ultrason® in next-generation baby bottle
 

Comotomo, a leading Korean manufacturer of innovative infant care products, now uses colored Ultrason® P 2010 in its next-generation baby bottle to achieve the desired color without compromising safety. The bottle’s silicone body incorporates an over-molded ring made of the BASF polyphenylsulfone Ultrason® P 2010 (PPSU) as a high-quality base polymer combined with a specific blue color using Avient’s Colorant Chromatics high-temperature color formulation expertise for color concentrates and pre-colored solutions. This combination provides the bottle with full rigidity and ensures a safe feeding experience for infants as the colored PPSU is approved for food contact according to all important standards like FDA, FC and GB.
