Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence.

Purpose. This procedure is used to determine the adhesion characteristics of fiber coated (flocked) parts by measuring the bond strength between the flock and the substrate. Method A is used to determine adhesion characteristics of flock tape. Method B is used to determine the characteristics of electrostatically applied flock. Method C is used to determine the characteristics of electrostatically applied flock in smaller post flocked areas, such as molded corners.

Applicability. This procedure is applicable to all flocked weatherstrips.
