SCOPE The materials defined by these specifications are pumpable, expa

4、nding and non-expanding anti-flutter sealers. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were released originally for sealers used to isolate inner from outer closure panels, and body and roof reinforcements from exterior sheet metal areas normally inaccessible after welding operations. The materials can b

5、e applied over oily metal surfaces and expand when processed through the electrocoat bake oven. Anti-flutter materials are required to perform in a number of applications and closure designs. Each design and/or application has unique requirements. Compliance with this materials specification does no

6、t guarantee the anti-flutter will function for all potential applications on a vehicle. Selection of the appropriate material should therefore be based on jury evaluations or other NVH test procedures as well as the required functional trial. Note: Material defined by WSS-M4G348-A3 replaces the form
