2、56-A8 FILLED MOLDING COMPOUND, EXTERIOR 1. SCOPE The material defined by this specification is a 22% mineral filled thermoplastic injection molding compound based on polypropylene copolymer, with added UV stabilization and scratch additives for exterior use. 2. APPLICATION This specification was rel
3、eased originally for material used in mold-in-color exterior applications, specifically for cowl top ventilator grills. Any color additives need to be reviewed and approved by the raw material supplier and Ford Materials Engineering. The UV/process/heat stabilizers must be in the base resin from the
4、 material supplier, not in the color concentrate, specifically for mold-in-color applications at the press. 2.1 LIMITATIONS This material should not be used for painted applications since it contains performance additives that negatively affect paint adhesion. Production level materials must be used
5、 in preparing test parts / panels. The use of improper sample prep materials can influence test results. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part producers must conform to the Companys Standard Requirements For Production Materials (WSS-M99P1111-
6、A). Note: Many 4D resin specifications prior to 2011, identified certain requirements with the symbol (s), which indicated that the mean and +/- 3 sigma values were to be reported. The specification minimum, maximum or range was established using 3 sigma values. For 2011 and beyond, refer to Table 1
7、 for number of samples required for each test to establish specification limits. 3.1.1 This specification is based on virgin materials, however materials with recycled content as defined by WRS-M99P42-A1 (post-consumer and/or post industrial recyclates and repolymerised recycled materials) should be
8、 used whenever technically feasible and following all materials and PV testing required by Ford Materials Engineering. The use of regrind is permitted, for economic / environmental reasons, with compliance as indicated in WSS-M99P1111-A. 3.1.2 Performance Criteria Parts using this specification shal
9、l meet the appropriate performance specifications WSS-M98P13-C / Latest. 3.2 SAMPLE PREPARATION Unless otherwise specified all tests shall be carried out on injection molded, one-end gated test specimens. The test specimens A and D shall be molded using molding conditions defined in ISO 1873-2. No a
10、nnealing is allowed. See Tables 1 and 2 for the number of samples required.

In addition, there shall be no cracking, crazing or other deterioration. A slight loss of gloss or chalking will be allowed prov
15、ided an acceptable appearance can be achieved as specified below by washing with mild detergents and water (ratio 5:95 by volume) or equivalent after the outdoor exposure only. All initial approvals may be based on the accelerated weathering exposure, pending real world outdoor exposure results for
16、final approval. 3.3.3 Resistance to Scratch and Mar (FLTM BO 162-01, Specimen I) Scratch Rating 2 at 2 N, max Whitening/Color Change Rating 1 at 7 N, max Marring Rating 2 at 2 N, max These values are derived from colored and grained samples in agreement with Materials Engineering. Details regarding
17、color house, let down ratio, colors, grain, etc can be found in the approval package.
