FORD WSS-M2P185-A1, A2, A3 and A4 Paint Performance, Engines, Metallic Surfaces

In the FORD WSS-M2P185-A1, A2, A3 and A4 standards developed by Ford Motor Company (FORD), the requirements for the paint performance of engines and metallic surfaces are explained.

This standard consists of the following parts:

• FORD WSS-M2P185-A1 Paint performance, engines, metallic surfaces - For engine interior, maximum performance
• FORD WSS-M2P185-A2 Paint performance, engines, metallic surfaces - High performance
• FORD WSS-M2P185-A3 Paint performance, engines, metallic surfaces - Standard performance
• FORD WSS-M2P185-A4 Paint performance, engines, metallic surfaces - Minimum performance

The FORD WSS-M2P185-A1 standard describes the performance requirements of various types of engine paint systems when applied to both rigid (metallic) and non-rigid (plastic) surfaces.

The FORD WSS-M2P185-A2 standard describes the performance requirements of various types of engine paint systems when applied to both rigid (metallic) and non-rigid (plastic) surfaces.

The FORD WSS-M2P185-A3 standard describes the performance requirements of various types of engine paint systems when applied to both rigid (metallic) and non-rigid (plastic) surfaces.

The FORD WSS-M2P185-A4 standard describes the performance requirements of various types of engine paint systems when applied to both rigid (metallic) and non-rigid (plastic) surfaces.

These standards are used together with another FORD standard, “FORD WSS-M99P1111-A Standard requirements for production materials”.

In paint application, adhesion is the expression, in terms of force/area, of the paint's resistance to being mechanically removed from the solid surface to which it is applied. For good adhesion, or for adhesion between applied layers, essential properties for the overall performance of the paint include elasticity, physical, chemical, and external resistance, as well as corrosion, moisture, and water resistance. Two key criteria are important in selecting the appropriate paint for metallic surfaces: cohesion and surface tension. Cohesion is the attractive force that the paint molecules exert on each other. Surface tension is the effect resulting from the paint's surface layer exhibiting properties similar to a flexible layer.

Our organization, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, within the scope of FORD WSS-M2P185-A1, A2, A3, A4 standards, the paint performance of engines and metallic surfaces. It also provides testing services for determination.
