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

Avient Introduces durable orange nylon colorants for High Voltage Electrical Vehicle (EV) Connectors, combining high heat and long-term color stability against fading in glass-filled PA6 and PA66 systems without compromising flame retardancy or mechanical performance.
Comparative testing between PA66-GF/FR without and with OnColor orange showed no impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, such as flexural and impact strength.
They meet a fast-growing demand in the EV market by combining excellent processability, high chromatic initial color, and little to no constraints on flame retardancy and electrical or mechanical properties.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-06/edgetek-et8900-cr-technical-bulletin.pdf
Available
in unfilled, impact-modified and flame-retardant
grades, these formulations deliver comparable
physical and mechanical performance to
conventional PC blends.

https://www.avient.com/products/long-fiber-technology/benefits-long-fiber-reinforced-thermoplastic-composites
Long glass fiber composites are safe to use in proximity with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan diagnostic equipment because of their non-magnetic and electrically insulative characteristics.
Flame Retardant – Increase product safety by including flame retardants to provide halogen-free fire resistant/smoke density/smoke toxicity (FST) and UL94 compliance.
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.
