Ampacet, a global leader in masterbatches, has launched ELTech™ Orange 2003 PBT, specially designed for high voltage orange PBT electrical and electronic equipment.
The rapid development and growth of the electric vehicle industry, including hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs), highlights the potential risk of electrocution. Orange RAL 2003 has been chosen as a market color reference to highlight the potential hazards and risk of electric shock when handling cables and connectors under the hood.
Electrical connectors used in EVs are often exposed to harsh conditions, including extreme voltages and temperatures, so maintaining color stability to ensure identification of high voltage hazards is critical.
Ampacet ELTech Orange 2003 PBT masterbatch is specially designed for coloring PBT resins and natural compounds to the RAL 2003 Orange specification for easy identification of high voltage hazards. It also performs well under heat stress and maintains color consistency through heat aging.
ELTech Orange 2003 PBT Masterbatch (7400269-E) is suitable for applications such as medium and high voltage PBT connectors for electric vehicles, PBT cable jackets and other high quality PBT electrical and electronic equipment.
