The 0096Z-SEC-A000 standard, developed by Honda Motor Company, describes a test method for evaluating coatings applied to interior resin parts and determining the quality of the coating film.
One of the most critical areas in the thermal spray industry is testing the quality of surface treatments. A series of tests are needed to verify the strength and abrasion resistance of the coating formulation. These tests allow the development of workable solutions to produce harder and more effective coatings in the automotive industry.
The automotive industry is a fast changing, dynamic and innovative industry and demands high quality, economical and repeatable solutions. From sliding coatings of moving parts to reduce friction, to high-quality hardening and tempering for automotive components, to corrosion or scratch resistant paintwork, surface technologies have been supporting this industry for years. Functional and heavy-duty surface coatings and heat treatments are developed and produced for metallic and non-metallic materials.
The properties expected from a quality coating are protection against corrosion, reduction of friction, protection against abrasion, increase in strength or resistance to scratching.
Plastics represent only 10 percent of vehicles' weight and about half of their volume today. Many modern car interiors are made from polymer, including lightweight seats, instrument panels, durable upholstery, voice-controlled fabrics, headlining, instrument panel and door panels. Especially for engineering plastics, structural materials, mechanical parts, electrical components and insulation parts, these materials are excellent in terms of strength and heat resistance. For example, using resin instead of metal for engine parts is preferred in terms of reducing weight and improving heat and sound insulation.
The most commonly used thermosets in the automotive industry are unsaturated polyester resins such as epoxy resins and polyurethanes. Polyurethanes are often reinforced with mineral or synthetic fillers to increase the mechanical properties of plastics.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides testing services to determine the coating quality for indoor resin parts within the scope of Honda 0096Z-SEC-A000 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment. gives.
