Primetech L05183AB White ABS

In the world of white ABS moulded parts, the most persistent production headache is not mechanical failure—it is colour. A slight drift in dye colour between batches can turn a perfect run into a sorting nightmare, while inconsistent flow forces operators to chase process parameters all shift long. These two issues directly impact OEE and scrap rates.

Primetech L05183AB is a white ABS grade developed by Qingdao Primetech Plastics to tackle exactly these challenges. Our formulation and quality control focus on two measurable outcomes: dye colour stability at ΔE*ab≤0.3 from lot to lot, and a stable melt flow index that keeps your injection moulding process predictable. In terms of mechanical performance, Primetech L05183AB is benchmarked against the well‑known reference Lotte Starex SD 0150 (W91268), with comparable tensile strength, impact resistance, and flexural modulus.

One appliance manufacturer who switched to Primetech L05183AB reported that their production line ran for three months without a single colour‑related rejection. Each new batch passed the incoming dye colour inspection on the first attempt, and once the initial parameters were dialled in, the line ran without further adjustments. For customers outside China, we typically conduct the initial parameter setup via online meeting sessions to minimise downtime and ensure a smooth transition.

Data based on Primetech test report (Lot No. 20260605). Colour consistency is verified by spectrophotometer measurement with batch‑to‑batch ΔEab≤0.3.*

When compared to Lotte Starex SD 0150 (public data: MFI 2.2, Izod 20‑21 kJ/m², flexural modulus 2400 MPa), Primetech L05183AB shows a near‑identical mechanical profile, while offering tighter batch‑to‑batch dye colour control.

Key Properties

Precise dye colour with ΔE*ab≤0.3 – Every shipment is measured with a spectrophotometer. The batch‑to‑batch colour difference is held within ΔE*ab=0.3, ensuring that parts produced weeks apart assemble without visual mismatch.
Balanced white ABS performance – With an MFI of 2.3 g/10min and notched impact of 20 kJ/m², this white ABS material fills thin‑wall sections (down to 2 mm) reliably while maintaining sufficient toughness for everyday mechanical loads. The flexural modulus of 2410 MPa provides good rigidity for structural housings.
Processing flexibility with technical support – Operators typically find that Primetech L05183AB runs with only minor parameter adjustments relative to their existing white ABS grade. Our application engineering team provides remote technical support via online meetings for overseas customers and on‑site assistance for customers within China to help dial in the settings quickly.
Production‑proven – This is not a developmental grade. Primetech L05183AB is a regular product with mature process control and low lot‑to‑lot variation. New customers typically qualify it with minimal trial runs.
Cost‑effective – At the same performance level as Lotte Starex SD 0150, Primetech L05183AB offers approximately 10% cost savings. For high‑volume production, this translates into meaningful material cost reduction without compromising part quality or processing stability.

Typical Applications

White Appliance Housings – A manufacturer of kitchen appliances switched to Primetech L05183AB and noted that the surface gloss and hiding power met their strict quality standards. Parts from multiple batches were assembled on the same line with no visible colour shift.

Office Equipment Panels – A supplier of printer bezels tested Primetech L05183AB on 2‑mm thick panels. They observed complete cavity filling, no flow marks, and stable part weight across production shifts.

Consumer Goods – For white toys, stationery, and cosmetic packaging, colour consistency is a brand requirement. Primetech L05183AB delivers the whiteness and batch‑to‑batch stability needed for export‑oriented products.
