This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It actually might be related to the cost of the color of the jacketing itself. The different dyes used in plastic production have varying costs, in lots of cases.
It's likely lower volume too, so the cost in switching brings a higher opportunity/downtime cost on smaller runs.
Good points! One might need an additional catalyst or flex additive, as well.
