2、edwith an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon-dioxide to form an expandedelastomeric thermosetting foam gasket.2. APPLICATIONThis material is intended for use in areas where a water or dust seal,vibration isolator, or gap filling gasket is required. Theseapplications include, but are not limited to

3、: exterior trim and appliquevibration isololaters, rear stop lamp gaskets, and sealed lamp gapfillers. This material can be robotically applied.This specification does not define all the intended uses of thismaterial. Each application/substrate/coating/foam level combination mustbe evaluated accordi

4、ng to the applicable performance specificationand/or design requirements.3. REQUIREMENTS3.1 QUALITY SYSTEM REQUIREMENTSMaterial suppliers and part producers must conform to QualitySystem Requirements, QS-9000. Material specification requirementsare to be used for initial qualification of materials.

5、A ControlPlan for ongoing production verification is required. This planmust be reviewed and approved by the relevant Ford Materialsactivity and/or Ford Supplier Technical Assistance (STA) prior toproduction parts submission. Appropriate statistical tools must beused to analyze process/product data

6、and assure consistentprocessing of the materials.Part producers using this material in their products, must use Fordapproved materials and must conform to a process control plan whichhas been approved by STA and/or the relevant Materials Activity.ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONWSS-M4G278-B3WP 394
