Electric vehicle connectors require materials with specific performance properties, including chemical resistance, flame retardancy and colorability. The new Edgetek PKE NHFR formulations can be laser marked and are pre-colored in orange for high-voltage applications in EVs. Other colors are also available for custom formulations. 

Suppliers and OEMs looking for a broader color palette will also benefit from masterbatches. While most antistatic parts do not have good bonding surfaces for paint, masterbatches allow for the inclusion of colorants to achieve molded-in color without the need for paint.  These should include level and duration of antistatic performance, color requirements, and time on dealership lots and showrooms.

When using multiple ink colors with hot-split inks, be sure to butt-register, rather than overlay ink on ink. If ink overlay occurs, ink/color strength will be impaired when the transfer is heat fused onto the garment. Remember to continue to keep the transfer paper in plastic wrapping or in a temperature controlled oven, as moisture will invariably be absorbed by the paper between each printed color.
