In thermal aging tests at up to 130°C for 1,000 hours, products made with OnColor durable orange nylon colorants achieved improved results compared to similar orange colorants against long-term fading resistance while meeting customer requirements of no migration and low volatility. Comparative testing between PA66-GF/FR without and with OnColor orange showed no impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, such as flexural and impact strength.  

Say-Eng Lee, vice president and general manager, Color & Additives Asia says, “China and other Asian countries not only have a rapidly growing  domestic healthcare market, but they are also actively supporting Western countries for medical product manufacturing, where they need to meet strict medical- and pharma-related standards for testing, traceability, and change control of the materials used in their products. We aim to limit non-compliance risk and support safety in use by using only raw materials that have been specially tested in accordance with medical standards.

The new PCR-based reSound REC grades, which have been extensively tested in laboratories and applications in collaboration with OEM partners, exhibit outstanding results in line with requirements for automotive interiors. They also can pass comprehensive xenon and environmental aging tests and show no visual defects, deformation, or stickiness after short-term (6 hours at 100°C) and long-term (500 hours at 90°C) thermal aging.
