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.

Smartbatch™ Fabric FX
Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric
Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive
concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means
for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer
surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance
of textile.
There is no limit on colors that can be used to create
the fabric look.
While the effect is most visible on light
colored parts, the appearance of dark parts is also
enhanced.
