SCOPE The materials defined by this specification are finished, full grain, steer or heifer hides which have been tanned and softened to provide maximum sea
3、ting comfort without sacrificing the leathers remaining physical properties. 2. APPLICATION These specifications were released originally for material used as interior trim and seating leather, excluding instrument panel covers and steering wheels. Because the hand and appearance characteristics wil
4、l be adversely affected, the leather shall not be subjected to steam or radiant heat or organic solvents during any manufacturing process. No buffing, stuccoing, filling or other repair is permitted. 3. REQUIREMENTS Materials manufactured to this Specification shall also meet the requirements contai
5、ned in WSS-M99P43-B. For all test methods, no individual specimen shall fall below the minimum values specified herein. 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements for production materials (WSS-M99P1111-A
6、). 3.2 SAMPLE SELECTION Samples for testing shall be selected according to paragraph 3.3 in WSS-M99P43-B. 3.3 APPEARANCE (FLTM BI 109-01) The color, grain, visual aesthetics, hand and finish shall match the approved Design Centre Master Sample and shall be as specified on the Engineering Drawing. It

(Addresses in App
8、endix I) 3.4 GRADE The leather must be through dyed to prevent undyed fibers from showing through after sewing or perforation. Also, the colour of the dye must be compatible in appearance with the surface coating. 3.5 FINISH All hides shall show no paint defects or surface blemishes affecting the ap
9、pearance of the material, such as brush marks or stops and bad flows.
