Then they need to try something else!  Sifting through the DHS patents for the 40mm celluloid balls, the formula has been changed at least once circa 2003 and then again circa 2009.  The first time was a filler replacement from titanium dioxide to zinc oxide.  The second time was the combined use of fillers and the addition of acetyl tributyl citrate as another solvent and alcohol-soluble nylon as another toughening agent. As you can see, that's gonna take some time.

That's interesting because I think the DHS balls definitely got better in the last few years compared to before.
