Flame-retardant formulations compliant with UL 94 flame rating
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-02/Additives and Colorants for Stadium and Arena Seats Application Bulletin.pdf
Additionally,
some countries have stringent local fire safety
standards for arena and stadium seating, which
call for plastics with improved flame retardancy
properties, achieved with flame retardant additives.
Our CESA™ additive solutions include UV stabilizers,
UV stabilizer/color combination products, and
UV stabilizer/flame retardant/color combination
products when flame retardancy is needed.
UV STABILIZER/COLOR COMBINATIONS
• Combines color and UV stabilization for use
in PP and PA
• Ingredients screened with accelerated
weather testing*
• Excellent weather resistance properties
(against chalking, embrittlement)
• Long-term colorfastness and light stability
UV STABILIZER/FLAME RETARDANT/
COLOR COMBINATIONS
• Combines low halogen flame retardants,
UV stabilizers and color for use in PP and PA
• Ingredients screened with accelerated
weather testing*
• Excellent weather resistance properties
(against chalking, embrittlement)
• Compliant with local fire standards (e.g.:
AFNOR M 2 in France, DIN 4102 B 2 – B 1 in
Germany, UNI 8457 – 9174 C 1 in Italy, BKZ 5.2
in Switzerland, BS 5852.1990 CRIB 3-5 in UK)**
• Standard portfolio available for PP injection
molded applications
APPLICATION BULLETIN
* Laboratory weathering testing may not be determinative of all conditions of use;
the end user must determine suitability of a product for its intended use

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-04/OnColor Orange Nylon Colorant for EV Connectors Application Bulletin.pdf
Its portfolio of OnColor™ polymer colorants
was developed to improve the heat and long-term
color stability of cautionary orange polymers for
high-voltage EV connectors, offering the following
benefits:
• Long-term fading resistance in thermal aging
tests at up to 130°C for 1,000 hours,
• No migration, excellent processing stability
• Lower corrosion risk vs. typical comparable
colorants
• No impact on flame retardancy and limited
adverse effects on essential mechanical
characteristics, including flexural and impact
strength
Avient’s orange nylon colorants are available in
several validated RAL, Pantone, and JPMA orange
shades for compounding, injection molding, and
extrusion.

FLAME RETARDANT
Flame retardancy is crucial for nonwoven
fabrics used in construction and in
transportation.
Cesa™ flame retardant
additives for nonwovens are formulated
without halogen and comply with key fire
hazard regulations around the world**.
Solutions that promote UV stability, in order
to retain flame retardancy efficacy after sun
exposure, are also available.
