Grade, color system, fill percent, and flame filter belong together.

Procurement templates often leave a single Material line. Molders need the same fields resin suppliers put on a TDS row.

Color is not cosmetic-only: masterbatch let-down and pre-colored resin change MOQ and consistency.

Flame requirements are filters tied to supplier grades, not automatic molder certifications.
