2、ws and regulations. Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 1.1 Purpose. This procedure is used to determine the adhesion characteristics of fiber coated (flocked) parts by measuring the bond strength between the flock and

3、 the substrate. Method A is used to determine adhesion characteristics of flock tape. Method B is used to determine the characteristics of electrostatically applied flock. Method C is used to determine the characteristics of electrostatically applied flock in smaller post flocked areas such as molde

4、d corners. 1.2 Foreword. Not applicable. 1.3 Applicability. This procedure is applicable to all flocked weatherstrips. 2 References Note: Only the latest approved standards are applicable unless otherwise specified. 2.1 External Standards/Specifications.

10、n 4.3. 4.2 Conditions. Unless otherwise specified, the tests shall be performed at 23 C 5 C. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. The minimum time period between vulcanization and testing of elastomers shall be 72 h. The test piece shall remain at a temperature of 23 C 5 C for at least 8 h before testing

11、 and shall be free from strain during this period. 4.2.1.1 Moisture Exposure. Test pieces shall be exposed for 24 h 0.1 h at 38 C 2 C and 95% 5% relative humidity (RH). 4.2.1.2 Solvent Exposure. Saturate a clean white cheesecloth with naphtha and wring out excess. Fold the solvent-dampened cloth and

12、 place onto the face of the sample. Leave in place for 5 minutes. The cloth shall cover the entire face of the sample. 4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this standard shall have been agreed upon by the GM engineer or Weatherstrip GSSLT. Such requirements shall be specified o

This test is to be performed on 1 sample as received, 1 sample after moisture exposure, and 1 sample after solvent exposure. 4.3.1.1 Cut 2 parallel lines 30 mm 3 mm in length app

14、roximately 6.5 mm apart. Cuts shall be through the flock tape to the substrate. 4.3.1.2 Peel back only enough of the fiber coating/adhesive film (flock tape) to place into the spring scale clip. 4.3.1.3 Peel the strip at a 180 degrees angle at a rate of 250 mm/minute. 4.3.2 Method B - Hot Melt Peel

15、Test for Electrostatically Applied Flock on Extruded Profiles. This test is to be performed on 3 samples as received and three samples after moisture exposure. 4.3.2.1 Sample Preparation. 4.3.2.1.1 Mount flocking sample into fixture/mold. Position flock side towards hot melt channel and towards one

16、end of the sample. Clamp tight to prevent adhesive leakage. Inject hot adhesive into mold port, making sure gun tip is held flush with inlet until adhesive exits through port hole. 4.3.2.1.2 Allow hot melt adhesive to cool for 20 minutes 0.1 minute before cutting excess adhesive from port hole. Rele

17、ase material from mold and trim part tab flush with channel and any excess adhesive from sides of channel. Allow sample to condition for a minimum of 30 minutes at room temperature. Sample must be tested within 8 h of preparation. 4.3.2.2 Test Procedure. 4.3.2.2.1 Cut or peel substrate from adhesive

18、 for jaw clamping. Position metal plate on top of adhesive. Attach clamp or jaws to adhesive and metal plate and secure rubber substrate on same end to a stationary fixture. See Appendix A, Figure A2. 4.3.2.2.2 Pull hot melt adhesive from substrate in a 180 degrees peel at a rate of 305 mm/minute fo

19、r a minimum of 50 mm separation/peel. 4.3.2.2.3 Repeat on a minimum of 3 test samples for each exposure. 4.3.3 Method C - Hot Melt Peel Test for Electrostatically Applied Flock on Molded Corners or Extruded Profiles.
