SCOPE The specification def

2、ines the performance requirements for a paintable, hot-melt or heat-curing thermosetting sealer supplied as a discrete part. 2. APPLICATION This specification was released originally for material used in applications, such as sealing floor pan holes or the roof ditch joint. The material is applied o

3、n the sealer deck after vehicle electrocoat, and it is suitable for use on vehicle interiors and must be paintable with topcoat enamels presenting an acceptable appearance free from tackiness, checks and porosity. The material can be heat staked to a metal clip which is inserted into the floor pan h

4、ole, and it can be tacky, dry, magnetic or some combination thereof. This material is not recommended for visible areas. 3. REQUIREMENTS 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 t

5、his specification is listed on the drawing, CAD file, or other documents. The list of approved sources is located within Ford at or available externally through a Ford Materials Engineer. This specification concerns materials that require toxicology review and approved sources should be reviewed wi

6、thin each region. A globally approved material will have 4 approved source listings to reflect the toxicology reviews in each region. 3.2 CONDITIONING AND TEST CONDITIONS All test values are based on material conditioned for not less than 24 h prior to testing in a controlled environment of 23 +/- 2

7、 C and 50 +/- 5% relative humidity. Testing of the material should occur in the conditioning environment or soon after removal. 3.3 INFRARED SPECTROPHOTOMETRY AND/OR THERMAL ANALYSIS IR spectra and thermograms from initial material approval shall constitute the reference standard and shall be kept o
