Additionally, it was projected that scrap rates were reduced by at least 10% over competitive materials.

Automotive lighting applications typically require high diffusion plus a high transmission rate.

These concentrates contain a very high pigment load, allowing low addition rates (one percent or lower) and reduce color variation from one resin type to another.

These technologies enable lower colorant use rates while achieving the same quality as higher let down ratios and traditional masterbatches.

Maintains line speeds: Anti-fog additives enable production of top-quality film at high output rates.

THE IMPACT Moving from painted metal to pre-colored Geon M5705 material reduced Smart Hero’s manufacturing costs by over $300,000 annually, due to lower scrap rates and the elimination of painting.
