Coloring polymers in any process gives a degree of freedom and flexibility that’s not possible with pre-colored polymers.
There’s actually also a third potential pitfall here: A processor who purchases one type of equipment (liquid-color dosing or solid-color feeders) may wrongly believe their operation cannot accommodate the other type of color technology.

SHANGHAI – April 23, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, announces the launch of a new range of OnColor™ durable orange nylon colorants developed to improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary, orange-colored polymers for high-voltage electric vehicle (EV) connectors.
Cautionary orange is a widely used color as a warning of potential safety hazards and is a preferred choice for automotive manufacturers to distinguish high-voltage power connectors and cables in electric vehicles from other parts,” said Bob Lee, General Manager, Color and Additives Greater China at Avient.
The new polymer colorants are available in several validated RAL, Pantone, and JPMA orange shades for compounding, injection molding, and extrusion.
