3、nally to describe the typical properties necessary for a clear protective coating for a polycarbonate headlamp lens. Prior to approval to this specification, the coating must meet additional processing, environmental, and assembly performance requirements listed on Engineering Drawings. Refer to par

4、a 5 for a partial list of the titles of the known documents and specifications. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.2 COMPOSITION 3.2.1

5、 Vehicle A multi-functional monomeric resin with a UV absorber blended in an appropriate manner to meet all the requirements of this specification. Minor amounts of modifiers and/or plasticizers are allowed. 3.2.2 Specific Composition The supplier will furnish the specific composition of the formula

7、n of FLTM BI 102-01 and ASTM D 2369-86. Since the coating contains reactive monomers and oligomers that will evaporate during the forced air drying, a cure cycle must be incorporated before drying. Equipment Required Laboratory balance Desiccator with desiccant 10 mL disposable syringe Cotton gloves

8、 Laboratory UV Curing Unit Aluminum Foil Dish - (3) dishes per sample Forced Draft Oven, Type IIA or Type IIB as specified in ASTM E 145 Procedure Determine weight of an aluminum foil dish. Record weight as (W1). Mix the sample until homogeneous. If air bubbles are observed stir by hand until the ai

9、r is removed. For coatings believed to have a non-volatile content 60%: Use the syringe to transfer 0.30 +/- 0.10 g of the coating into a tared aluminum foil dish. Record weight as (S). Place the sample immediately into a UV curing unit capable of 300 watts/in output. Cure the sample for 45 seconds

10、at full power. For lower non-volatile coatings: Use the syringe to transfer 0.50 +/- 0.10 g of the coating into a tared aluminum foil dish. Record weight as (S). Flash sample for at least 5 minutes then place the sample into a UV curing unit capable of 300 watts/in output. Cure the sample for 45 sec

11、onds at full power. Remove the sample from the UV Curing cabinet then, place the sample into an forced air oven set at 175 C for five (5) minutes to volatilize residual photoinitiators. Air should be present to inhibit thermal polymerization of residual reactive dilutent. Remove the sample from the

12、oven, place into a dessicator. When cool, weigh the sample and record as (W2).
