FORD WSB M4D833-A Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA), Standard Test for Medium Temperature Molding Compound

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of FORD WSB M4D833-A standard. The material specification defined in this standard is an acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate (ASA) based molding compound.

Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), also called acrylic styrene acrylonitrile, is an amorphous thermoplastic developed as an alternative to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), but has improved weather resistance and is widely used in the automotive industry. It is an acrylate rubber-modified styrene acrylonitrile copolymer.

Mechanical components and structures are designed and developed to perform specific tasks and are exposed to high stresses, high temperature and corrosive environment.

This can ultimately lead to its failure. In the past few decades, high-performance plastic materials in automobiles have experienced a real boom, and their applications are increasing with the trend of further growth. Polymers find their way into the majority of applications, mainly because of their light weight and relatively better properties.

The average global plastic penetration is 120 kg/vehicle and the average Indian plastic penetration is 60 kg/vehicle. A wide variety of plastics are used in vehicles. The main functions of such widespread use of high-performance plastic materials in vehicles are the appearance, functionality, economy and low fuel consumption of automobiles.

Metallic decorative effects are very important on automotive plastic parts. The bulk coloring of plastics with metallic effect pigments is often referred to as mold-in-color.
