At first, they experimented with pre-colored ABS, but the ABS parts failed the company’s requirements for color retention after exposure to UV light. PolyOne provided a pre-colored version of our Geon M5705 material, customized to match the manufacturer’s gray and black painted metal lights. Due to the commercial success of the gray and black colors, Smart Hero plans to introduce seven new colors made with Geon M5705 material to expand its product line.
