3、 RECYCLED MATERIAL CONTENT 1. SCOPE This specification defines the material performance requirements for seating foam, including head restraints, cushions, bolsters, and armrests. The materials used are typically polyurethane, however, this specification also covers the attachment of materials that

4、would be provided on a finished part, such as hook/loop fastener, scrim, etc. Foam materials (die cut, molded, etc.) adhered to a molded pad shall meet the requirements of the finished pad as well. 2. APPLICATION WSS-M15P20-B1/B2 This specification is for material used in all seat cushions and backs

5、, armrests, head restraints, armrests, and other foam trim items related to seating construction. This specification covers the foam performance requirements with respect to foam material properties and additional specifications cover the application of the assemblies, which are listed below. For se

6、at cushions/backs this specification covers attached components such as fasteners, anti-squeak coatings, and molded in fabrics. These specifications should be used together to define the performance requirements of the affected component. WSB-M15P26-C ARMREST, UNITIZED, FORMED, PERFORMANCE WSD-M15P3

Use of excessive steam in the seat assembly process can damage urethane flexible foam. Seating as

8、sembly plant steaming practices should be reviewed before releasing parts using this material. 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-A).

They shall be cured for at least the minimum tim

10、e period specified in the Control Plan prior to hardness testing and a provision must exist to correlate the short-term IFD values to a fully cured sample. PPAP samples shall be cured for a minimum of 7 days prior to all other physical property testing. The samples must be conditioned in the lab env

11、ironment, 23 + 2 C and 50 + 5% RH, for a minimum of 12 hours prior to testing. Except where noted, all tests will be performed on core specimens cut at a minimum of 10 mm below the molded surface of the sample and they shall have their longest dimension at right angles to the direction of the foam r

12、ise. This will place that dimension parallel to the top surface. Specimens shall be taken from in and around the IFD circle and they shall be free of densification layers or any portion where there is an obvious defect, such as voids. These statements supersede the specimen preparation instructions

13、contained in the methods that exist outside of this document. 3.3 MATERIAL AND TEST SPECIMEN Cell Structure, Physical Characteristics The molded foam pads shall meet the requirements for allowable defects as outlined in the Engineering Specifications for seating pads or as defined on the Engineering

14、 Drawing, the foam shall have a uniform cell structure. All foam samples shall be cut from production parts that are free of the top molded surface (unless otherwise noted within the specification below, or in the applicable test method), voids, hard spots, and densification lines. Specimens shall b

15、e obtained from molded parts. If part thickness or configuration makes it too difficult to obtain usable test specimens, surrogate test blocks molded from the same material may be used, with approval from Materials Engineering. This is particularly applicable to small parts (arm rest, released soft

16、molded trim pieces, etc. for seating applications) All tests will be performed on core specimens cut at a minimum of 10 mm below the molded surface (unless specified with skin) and shall have their longest dimension at right angles to the direction of the foam rise. This will place that dimension pa

17、rallel to the top surface. All tests shall be performed using a sample size of 3, (unless noted in the section) with the average of the samples reported, unless otherwise specified. All testing shall be done on parts made with production mold release agents, anti-squeak surface treatments, molded in

18、 fabrics, or other miscellaneous materials. Densities/firmness will vary by application, and the Release Engineer should consult Comfort Engineering if there are issues with density and firmness of the parts. Non-cushion soft trim applications (also referred to as small part applications)- This perf

19、ormance specification is applicable to small parts items that are manufactured with foam formulations also used in head restraint or seating applications. For items requiring surrogate blocks to be used for qualification, such as final parts are not of sufficient size to allow for sample specimens t

20、o be prepared, a surrogate block of the identical formulation may be used. Density, index, and key process parameters shall be kept consistent between the manufacture of the part and the surrogate block, and be provided to seat engineering or materials engineering.
