Additives and Colorants for Stadium and Arena Seats
Over time arena seats can be susceptible to loss
of mechanical properties and color fading due to
sun exposure.
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.
Custom color solutions are also available on request.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-04/OnColor Orange Nylon Colorant for EV Connectors Application Bulletin.pdf
A
cautionary orange color is often used in EVs to
distinguish high-voltage power connectors and
cables from other parts.
This is where Avient’s orange nylon colorants can
help.
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.
