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.

Avient’s EVSE platform of colorant, additive, and specialty engineered materials solutions can help enhance both the performance and appearance of new model charging stations.   This portfolio of EVSE polymer solutions includes colorants, additives, and specialty engineered materials that can improve the performance and aesthetics of Level 1, 2, and direct current (DC) electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.   With the expected growth in electric vehicles, there will logically be a much greater need for EV charging stations,” said Mayendran Pillay, marketing director, Color & Additives North America.

With major consumer goods companies actively defining sustainability goals of 100 percent PCR polyolefin packaging, Avient has responded by developing Rejoin PCR Masterbatch in customizable colors and special effects. We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient. Rejoin PCR Masterbatch combines pigments and functional additives into a single solution without negatively affecting color or mechanical properties.

In addition to its comprehensive portfolio of polymers, functional additives, and colorants for healthcare, PolyOne’s exhibit will include a sampling of healthcare application successes achieved through material science, industry expertise and comprehensive product development support. OnColor™ HC Colorants for Healthcare: color concentrates developed to meet or exceed USP Class VI and ISO 10993 and formulated without heavy metals, phthalates and BPA or other requirements as specified Pre-certified OnCap™ HC Plus: Functional additives that complement OnColor™ HC Plus colorant formulations, giving customers a wider range of resin choices and supporting applications that require bio-compatible solutions
