CABLE MANUFACTURER REBOUNDS WITH SPECIALIZED COLOR AND ADDITIVE MASTERBATCHES CASE STUDY: COLORANT CHROMATICS™ Challe nge Accepted. That inconsistency led to masterbatches that included lumps and lot-to-lot color differences. On its manufacturing lines, the transition to Colorant Chromatics fluoropolymer color concentrates helped slash its scrap rate from 10% to less than 5%.

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. 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. Using Geon M5705 material for these seven colors will save an additional $200,000 per year.
