Abstract

The present invention relates to high-voltage components, in particular for electromobility, containing polymer compositions based on at least one polyamide and 10,10′-oxybis-12H-phthaloperin-12-one, and to the use of 10,10′-oxybis-12H-phthaloperin-12-one for marking polyamide-based articles of manufacture as high-voltage components.

Claims (40)

1. An electromobility assembly comprising:

a voltage-conducting part having an operating voltage according to class B of ISO6469-3:2018; and

a high-voltage component in direct contact with or directly adjacent to the voltage-conducting part, wherein the high-voltage component comprises a polymer composition comprised of the following components:

(A) at least one polyamide, and

(B) a 10,10′-oxybis-12H-phthaloperin-12-one dye, wherein

the 10,10′-oxybis-12H-phthaloperin-12-one dye component (B) is present in an amount of 0.01 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the at least one polyamide component (A) which is sufficient to achieve (i) an orange color corresponding to a color distance ΔE<20 from the L*a*b* coordinates of a color number beginning with “2” in the RAL color chart, and (ii) reduced contact bleeding of the 10,10′-oxybis-12H-phthaloperin-12-one component (B) as compared to a high-voltage component having 12H-phthaloperin-12-one as component (B).

2. The electromobility assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer composition comprises 0.01 to 3 parts by mass of the 10,10′-oxybis-12H-phthaloperin-12 component (B) per 100 parts by mass of the at least one polyamide component (A).

3. The electromobility assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the polymer composition further comprises the following component:

(C) at least one filler and/or reinforcer per 100 parts by mass of the at least one polyamide (A).

4. The electromobility assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the polymer composition further comprises the component:

(D) at least one flame retardant.

5. The electromobility assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the polymer composition further comprises the component:

(E) at least one further additive other than the components (B), (C) and (D).

6. The electromobility assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the filler and/or reinforcer component (C) is selected from the group consisting of solid glass beads, hollow glass beads, glass fibers, ground glass, amorphous quartz glass, aluminum borosilicate glass having an alkali content of 1% (E glass), amorphous silica, quartz flour, calcium silicate, calcium metasilicate, magnesium carbonate, kaolin, calcined kaolin, chalk, kyanite, powdered or ground quartz, mica, phlogopite, barium sulfate, feldspar, wollastonite, montmorillonite, pseudoboehmite of the formula AlO(OH), magnesium carbonate and talc.

7. The electromobility assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one flame retardant component (D) is selected from mineral flame retardants, nitrogen-containing flame retardants and phosphorus-containing flame retardants.

8. The electromobility assembly according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one additive component (E) is at least on heat stabilizer.

(C) 1 to 150 parts by mass of the at least one filler and reinforcer,

(D) 3 to 100 parts by mass of the at least one flame retardant additive, and

(E) 0.01 to 2 parts by mass of the at least one heat stabilizer.

11. The electromobility assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the high-voltage component is a component selected from the group consisting of covers for electrics or electronics, control devices, covers/housings for fuses, relays, battery cell modules, fuse holders, fuse plugs, terminals, cable holders, and sheathings.

12. The electromobility assembly according to claim 2 , wherein in addition to the components (A) and (B), the polymer composition further comprises the component:

(C) 1 to 150 parts by mass of at least one filler and/or reinforcer, based on 100 parts by mass of the at least one polyamide component (A).

13. The electromobility assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the polymer composition further comprises the component:

(D) 3 to 100 parts by mass of at least one flame retardant based on 100 parts by mass of the component A).

14. The electromobility assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the polymer composition further comprises the component:

(E) 0.01 to 80 parts by mass of at least one further additive other than the components (B), (C) and (D), based on 100 parts by mass of component (A).

15. The electromobility assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the high-voltage component is a touch guard, a warning marking or a shield component.

16. The electromobility assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer composition further comprises the component:
