Orange technical compounds: safety and performance for electric mobility

In next-generation electric vehicles, the high voltages and currents used in traction systems and onboard services impose strict safety standards. One of these requirements is the immediate visual identification of plastic components designed for high-voltage management, which must be colored in a specific shade of orange.

However, prolonged exposure to high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions can cause color shifting, compromising not only the component’s aesthetics but also its critical safety function. For this reason, thermal color stabilization in technical compounds represents a crucial challenge.
