Daimler is a global German automaker and owner of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The DBL 5562 standard published by this organization describes general requirements for components such as seals, plugs, and molded hoses with low to medium chemical and thermal stress in the body and engine area. These requirements apply to elastomer sections or molded parts.

Safety requirements, particularly regarding exhaust emissions and quality, comply with current legal requirements and regulations. Furthermore, the relevant requirements of the Daimler Group apply. All materials, procedures, processes, components, and systems will comply with current regulatory requirements relating to regulated substances and recyclability. In this regard, the DBL 8585 standard is considered. This standard represents the internal application of specific legal requirements and standards relating to the environment and hazardous substances.
New materials are used in the automotive industry to reduce the car's weight or increase sustainability, create a tactile, scratch-resistant surface or improve indoor air quality. Modern vehicles are a complex mix of advanced engineering and smart technology, built with high-performance materials. Today, advanced thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and polymer compounds are being developed for a variety of applications.
Thermoplastic elastomers are raw materials that can be processed in all plastic processing machines and are as strong as vulcanized rubbers, but do not require vulcanization. Their low density, resistance to ozone, ability to be produced in a wide range of hardnesses, operation in a wide temperature range, low permanent deformation value, and most importantly, their recyclability make them widely used. With these properties, thermoplastic elastomers are flexible and weather-resistant like rubber materials.
In the automotive industry, high performance thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are used as well as liquid rubbers in tires, interior and exterior parts and engine components. Its reliable functionality, light weight, durability and wear resistance help reduce emissions and make driving safe and comfortable.
Our organization also provides thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) testing services within the scope of DBL 5562 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
