Real projects with a clear benefit. No slogans — just numbers you’ll see in your own production.

Profile extrusion2024

38% lower reject rate

Challenge

A technical profile manufacturer struggled with fluctuating colour match and a high reject rate between batches.

Solution

Consolidated five colour masterbatches into a single multifunctional Fusion formulation with built-in UV protection.

Result

-38% reject rate, -22% inventory costs, ΔE < 0.8 across batches.

fewer rejects
Agricultural film2023

Doubled UV resistance

Challenge

Agricultural films degraded after 18 months of outdoor use and required premature replacement.

Solution

Developed a custom HALS + UVA system optimized for the specific polymer and film thickness.

Result

Service life extended to 36+ months, 5-year warranty met with margin to spare.

Automotive2023

Colour match across suppliers

Challenge

A global automotive supply chain showed visible colour deviations between parts from different suppliers.

Solution

A unified colour standard with a reference masterbatch and a ΔE measurement protocol for all suppliers.

Result

ΔE between suppliers reduced from 3.2 to 0.9, eliminating colour-related complaints.

Packaging film2022

BOM consolidation and material savings

Challenge

A packaging film manufacturer used three separate masterbatches (colour, slip, anti-block) with a risk of dosing errors.

Solution

A Fusion masterbatch combining colour, slip and anti-block in one product with an optimized concentration.

Result

-31% material costs, simplified logistics, zero dosing errors over 18 months.

Injection moulding2022

Reproducible colour for series production

Challenge

Series production of consumer goods suffered from colour drift between batches caused by variability in the input polymer.

Solution

A custom colour masterbatch with an adaptive carrier compensating for polymer variability.

Result

ΔE between batches < 0.6, zero production stoppages for colour matching.

Technical plastics2021

18% higher line throughput

Challenge

A technical part required long injection-moulding cycles due to melt instability.

Solution

A processing aid masterbatch improving melt rheology and reducing melt fracture.

Result

+18% throughput, -9% energy consumption, stable part surface.
