APPLICATION This specification was released originally for material used as a production line repair for surface cracks, gouges and scratches on fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) parts, such as Lincoln upper grille bar, FRP body components and/or quarter panels on t
4、ruck vehicles. 3. REQUIREMENTS All tests are to be conducted on damaged 12 x 12 in (300 x 300 mm) glass reinforced polyester (FRP) test panels that have been repaired and painted in accordance with Ford Motor Company Repair Standard 9-V-72 with the repaired area located near the center of the panel.
5、 3.0 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-A). 3.1 WEATHERING RESISTANCE The repaired test area shall exhibit no change in color or fading as compared to adjacent
6、nonrepaired areas when exposed as follows: 400 h weatherometer exposure per FLTM BO 101-01. 12 months minimum exposure at 5 facing south in the Miami, Florida area. (This test shall be conducted for supplier qualification only.) In the event of difference in the test results of accelerated weatherin
7、g and Florida exposure, the results of the Florida exposure shall govern. 3.2 WATER IMMERSION, min 240 h (FLTM BI 104-01) No blistering or loss of gloss.
