Avient Corporation, a provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, announces the launch of its OnColor™ nylon range of stable, long-lasting orange solutions designed to enhance the warning orange color used in high-voltage connectors for electric vehicles (EVs). Orange color stability of polymers. Avient will highlight these solutions at its booth at Chinaplas 2024, which opens tomorrow.

After heat aging testing at temperatures up to 130°C for 1,000 hours, products using the OnColor nylon range's stable and long-lasting orange formula demonstrated superior long-term fading resistance compared to similar orange solutions, while also meeting customer color preferences. The powder has no migration and low volatility requirements. Additionally, samples exposed to high humidity environments for seven days showed little color change at 85°C and 85% relative humidity, indicating that these colorants can be used in high humidity environments. Comparative test results in the PA66-GF/FR system, without and with the OnColor nylon series stable and long-lasting orange solution, show that the formulation has no impact on flame retardancy and a negative impact on basic mechanical properties such as flexural strength and impact strength. Also extremely limited.

Li Shunbo, general manager of Avient's Color and Additives Division Greater China, said: "The warning orange is widely used to warn of potential safety hazards and is also used by automakers to distinguish high-voltage power connectors and cables from other components in electric vehicles. The color of choice. Avient is proud to offer a range of new orange masterbatches in bold, standardized shades that are specifically designed to resist fading and maintain maximum durability even after long-term exposure to high temperatures. Original color.”

Avient can provide proven orange solutions that comply with multiple color cards such as RAL, Pantone and JPMA. It is suitable for processes such as granulation, injection molding and extrusion. It has excellent processability and can maintain the original color to a large extent. At the same time, it has no significant impact on flame retardancy, electrical properties or mechanical properties, meeting the rapidly growing needs of the electric vehicle market. In addition, Avient can offer additional capabilities upon customer request, such as laser marking and custom colorants for other EV applications.

Chinaplas 2024 will be held at the Shanghai Hongqiao National Convention and Exhibition Center from April 23 to 26. At that time, 

Avient will display its advanced technologies in various plastics industries at booth 8.2F31 in Hall 8.2, including this The new OnColor nylon range is a stable, long-lasting orange solution for high-voltage connectors in electric vehicles (EVs).
