Question 1

What is MasterPOW used for?

Accepted Answer

MasterPOW is a technical option within the Color Masterbatch portfolio, evaluated according to customer demand, raw material structure, and application conditions. It follows the same laboratory, color reference, and sector-oriented approach as the other product families.

Question 2

How does a MasterPOW project start?

Accepted Answer

Performance expectation, color reference, raw material, and process data are collected. Laboratory work and physical or chemical tests are used to target the most suitable quality for the customer need.

Question 3

Which process data should be shared?

Accepted Answer

Raw material type, color or performance target, expected dosing rate, machine/process type, final product use, and any existing sample should be shared for a more accurate technical review.

Question 4

Can RAL, Pantone, or customer samples be used?

Accepted Answer

Yes. RAL, Pantone, the Color Masterbatch color chart, and physical customer samples can be used as references during laboratory color work.

Question 5

Can this product be developed from a customer sample?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Color codes, physical samples, raw material data, and process information can be reviewed together so the laboratory work starts with the right technical frame.

Question 6

Why is process information needed before the final recipe?

Accepted Answer

The same color or additive package can behave differently depending on raw material, temperature, machine type, dosing, and final product geometry. Sharing this data improves sample accuracy and production repeatability.
