These
additive solutions create a char or gas that
reduces oxygen at the source of flame, leading to
components that become self-extinguishing, and
potentially lowering the heat release rate over time.
Fire time to ignition is increased while heat release
and fire spread are reduced, resulting in enhanced
fire safety for life and property.
TARGET APPLICATIONS
• Aerospace
• Appliances
• Automotive, including electric vehicles
• Building & construction
• Electrical & electronics
• Public transportation
• Recreational vehicles, bikes & scooters
• Wire & cable
IMPACT
• Reduce spread of fire and heat release
• Limit quantity of smoke to allow people
to find their way to safety more easily
• Limit toxicity and acidity of gases so
people are less likely to be overcome by
fumes
• Enhance char formation, avoiding droplets
which can proliferate fire
• Meet regulation and legislation
requirements

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.
