2、GH TEMPERATURE WSS-M18P19-A CURE, NON WELDABLE, PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT 1. SCOPE The material defines the performance requirements for a die cut, injection molded, or extruded sealer that expands upon exposure to heat. This material can be supplied with or without a pressure sensitive adhesive coati

3、ng (PSA) or a release liner. 2. APPLICATION This specification was originally released for materials used to isolate bodyside strainers, seal fuel fillers, and roof bows from exterior sheet metal panels. The material can be supplied with or without an aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive which pro

4、motes adhesion to oily, uncleaned cold rolled and galvanized steel. This material expands during the electrocoat bake schedules per para. 4.2. Material cure is critical to long term material performance. It is recommended that time/temperature data packs be placed on a vehicle in the intended locati

5、ons to determine the time at temperature requirements for a given application prior to release. The on-vehicle material time at electrocoat oven temperatures must fall within the cure window for the approved material. After release, periodic follow-up time/temperature checks are recommended to insur

6、e cure performance is maintained. The Manufacturing Properties and Engineering Performance requirements defined in these specifications are based on laboratory sample testing and define the minimum acceptance criteria for adhesive/polymer material performance. The function and design requirements fo

7、r the engineered part are defined by the component SDS (Sub-system Design Specification), key life test requirements, or vehicle program requirements. Prior to use, the engineered part must be evaluated under the intended application processing parameters. The choice of substrates, stamping lubrican

8、ts, stamping and assembly plant processing conditions and specific design application may affect engineered part performance. Compliance with this specification does not guarantee the engineered part will function for all potential applications on a vehicle. 3. REQUIREMENTS Material specification re

9、quirements are to be used for initial qualification of materials. 3.1 APPROVED SOURCES This specification requires the use of approved sources. Only the sources identified on the Ford Approved Source List (ASL) can be used when this specification is listed on the drawing, CAD file, or other document
