The Hyundai Kia MS 213-41 standard, developed by Hyundai Motor Company, defines the quality characteristics of polypropylene foam used in the production of vehicles. Such materials are generally used for automobile bumper shock absorber and as specified in the engineering drawing. Polypropylene foam types are shown in the table in the standard. Accordingly, the types and applications are as follows:

types | Classification | foaming rate | |
type A | main part | 15 | |
type B | Spacer | 30 | |
C1 type | Sun visor | single body | 30 |
C2 type | Sun visor | multi-body | 15 |
D type | pedestrian | 40 |
According to this standard, the designation is as follows: PP - PP foam - 041 A type (MS213-41)
Parts using this material in the manufacture of vehicles must comply with all the requirements of the relevant assembly performance specification. The chemical composition and processing condition that affects the quality of the parts should not be changed inappropriately. Before changing the chemical composition of the material, it is obligatory to consult with the department that has the authority to regulate the specification. Finished parts made from this material should be free of uneven foaming, excessive peeling, cracks, tears, deformation, offensive odors and other defects. The performance of impact energy absorption must be approved by the relevant departments of the passenger vehicle engineering and research center.
This material must be tested with the methods specified in the standard and must comply with the reuse conditions given in Table 2. Samples will be prepared by the same process as parts.
Test methods are defined as follows in Hyundai Kia MS 213-41 standard:
The test report is submitted to the relevant departments. When materials and suppliers are changed, the test report must be re-approved.
