3、OUND, FASCIA / THIN-WALLED EXTERIOR 1. SCOPE The material defined by these specifications are 22% mineral filled thermoplastic molding compounds for mold-in-color (A1) and painted (A2) applications, based on thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer. 2. APPLICATION WSS-M4D1005-A1 This specification was rel
4、eased originally for material used for mold-in-color exterior bumper applications (where the fascia thickness is less than 3mm), requiring high melt flow rate. Any color additives need to be reviewed and approved by the raw material supplier and Ford Materials Engineering. The UV/process/heat stabil
5、izers must be in the base resin from the material supplier, not in the color concentrate, specifically for mold-in-color applications at the press. WSS-M4D1005-A2 This specification was released originally for material used for painted exterior bumper applications (where the fascia thickness is less
6、 than 3mm), requiring high melt flow rate. Any color additives need to be reviewed and approved by the raw material supplier and Ford Materials Engineering. The process/heat stabilizers must be in the base resin from the material supplier. 2.1 LIMITATIONS Material approved to WSS-M4D1005-A1 is likel
7、y to contain additives that may negatively affect paint adhesion, therefore should not be used for painted applications. Material approved to WSS-M4D1005-A2 is unlikely to contain UV stabilizers, therefore long term exposure to direct sunlight could cause chalking and loss of gloss. 3. REQUIREMENTS
8、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). Note: Many 4D resin specifications prior to 2011, identified certain requirements with the symbol (s), which indicate
9、d that the mean and +/- 3 sigma values were to be reported. The specification minimum, maximum or range was established using 3 sigma data. For 2011 and beyond, refer to Table 1 for number of samples required for each test to establish specification limits. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION WSS-M4D
