DBL 5562 Supply Specification - Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of the DBL 5562 test. Daimler is a global German automobile manufacturer and owner of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The DBL 5562 standard published by this organization describes general requirements for components such as gaskets, plugs and molded hoses with low to moderate chemical and thermal stress in the airframe and engine area. These requirements apply to elastomer parts or molded parts.

Complies with current legal requirements and laws in terms of safety requirements, especially exhaust emissions and quality. Additionally, the relevant requirements of the Daimler Group apply. All materials, procedures, processes, components and systems shall comply with current regulatory requirements for regulated substances and recyclability. In this regard, the DBL 8585 standard is taken into account. This standard represents the internal implementation of certain legal requirements and standards regarding the environment and hazardous substances.

New materials are being used in the automotive industry to reduce car 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. Nowadays, advanced thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and polymer compounds are being developed for various applications.

Thermoplastic elastomers are raw materials that can be processed in all plastic processing machines and are as durable as vulcanized rubbers, but do not require vulcanization. They are widely used due to their low density, resistance to ozone, ability to be produced in a wide hardness range, ability to operate in a wide temperature range, low permanent deformation values ​​and most importantly, their recyclability. With these features, thermoplastic elastomers are flexible and resistant to weather conditions, like rubber materials.

In the automotive industry, high-performance thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are also used in tires, interior and exterior parts and engine components, as well as liquid rubbers. Its reliable functionality, lightness, durability and wear resistance help reduce emissions and make driving safe and comfortable.
