The manufacturer’s cable lines, in turn, saw a higher
scrap rate, which led to delayed deliveries to customers
and eventually to the need for price hikes.
The new Colorant Chromatics™ masterbatch was
delivered in a sample quantity that supported adequate
testing by the cable manufacturer.
On its manufacturing lines, the transition to Colorant
Chromatics fluoropolymer color concentrates helped
slash its scrap rate from 10% to less than 5%.

Very soft materials, such as gels and micro-cellular foam and sponge, are rated on the “Shore OO”.
Many rubbers, soft plastics, urethanes and TPE’s are rated on the “Shore A” scale.
The hardness of most thermoplastic resins is rated on the Shore D scale.

After grabbing more than 8% of the market within six months of the release of its flagship vehicle, the engineers at a game-changing electric car manufacturer went back to work fine-tuning the details.
Reduced scrap rates
These improvements freed working capital for other projects, and helped keep production running at a consistent rate for annual savings estimated by the company at more than $200,000 a year.
