The growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry has significantly increased the demand for engineering plastic masterbatches. While the batteries are metal-based the recent advancements in polymer science and high-performance masterbatches enhance the design and safety of the EV batteries. The battery Colour MBs for EV batteries are formulated with high-performance pigments and additives to meet the stringent requirements of the EV industry.
Importance of Colour Masterbatch for EV Batteries
EV batteries operate under extreme conditions, so they require masterbatches that can withstand chemical exposure, higher temperatures, or electrolyte leakages. Heat-resistant and flame retardant masterbatch is used for battery castings, and components comply with UL 94 V-0 and other standards. At Perfect Colourants & Plastics Pvt.Ltd, we take pride in our extensive years of experience and technical expertise. Our team’s knowledge and skills enable us to cater to the demands of the automotive industry with high-quality colour masterbatches for EV batteries. As a color masterbatch manufacturer in India, we provide a wide range of products with perfect dispersion and dilution at low dosing levels, high-speed production, and the right colour consistency. Our MBs are compatible with commonly used polymers of EV batteries, including PC, PP, PA, ABS, PBT and HDPE.
Common Colour Masterbatches Used in EV Batteries
Orange Masterbatch: High-voltage components in EVs can be dangerous; this is why high-visibility orange colour plastic components are used. The eye-catching orange colour RAL 2003 shade is increasingly used for high-voltage and current-carrying components that can retain their striking effect even after hours of service at extreme temperatures. The orange masterbatch is suitable for applications including medium to high-voltage PBT connectors for EVs, PBT cable jacketing, and other electric components. Moreover, it also performs excellently under thermal stress and maintains colour stability in heat aging.
Black Masterbatch: High jetness black masterbatches are used in EV batteries, including battery casing enclosures, modules & trays, high-voltage cable sheathing, and EMI shielding components. The black masterbatch can withstand extreme temperatures and is UV resistant and resistant to exposure to lithium electrolytes.
Blue Masterbatch: These MBs impart electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and high-temperature stability. These masterbatches for EV batteries are typically used in battery enclosures, busbars, and cable insulations in EV power systems. Flame retardant MBs and fibre reinforced blue glass masterbatch are especially for EV battery applications.
Red Masterbatch: REACH and RoHS-compliant red masterbatches meet safety and performance standards. These MBs are heat-resistant and can be tailored with flame retardant additives to be used for connectors, casing, and insulation materials.
PPCL’s Expertise in Colour Masterbatches for EV Batteries
Masterbatches in electrical batteries are a great alternative to metal-based materials. The lightweight battery components contribute to enhanced energy efficiency and reduce the potential risk of thermal runaway, which is crucial for EV battery applications. This is where our expertise comes in. PCPPL is a colour masterbatch manufacturer in Kenya helping automotive parts manufacturers to produce lighter and higher performance components. Colours are essential elements of the EV batteries, and the durability of the colours in extreme conditions and the colour should stay consistent throughout the life of the vehicle. Our masterbatches are designed to meet a wide range of needs in the EV battery industry, ensuring that your specific requirements are met. Colour MBs with fantastic dispersion, dilution properties, uniform colour, pallet size, and shapes elevates the production process.
