Orange Nylon Colorants for High-Voltage Electric Vehicle (EV) Connectors The electric vehicle (EV) industry is growing rapidly as governments worldwide encourage sustainable energy. 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.

In addition, nylon 6 offers a lustrous finish while nylon 6/6 is designed for high-temperature performance.  Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 Alternatives to Nylon 6,6
