In the LP-463KB-28-01 standard developed by the Chrysler automotive company, the resistance properties of soft flooring materials used in vehicles against cold cracking are explained and test methods are defined. Essentially, the LP-463KB series standards contain methods for testing the surface friction properties of soft flooring materials such as tensile strength, elongation strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance.
Soft upholstery in the automotive industry refers to materials made from fabrics, plastic composites, leather and other natural or synthetic materials. These soft coatings not only provide comfort while driving, but also give an aesthetic appearance to the car interiors. Many of these products feature seat covers that act as cushioning for a better seating experience, enhancing the overall look and feel of seats while enhancing enhanced aesthetics.
On the other hand, the use of soft materials is beneficial for vehicles with insulation materials inside, as they make them quieter, warmer, cooler and more comfortable.
The use of leather and high-quality fabrics in vehicles is increasing to improve aesthetics. In addition, interior materials are increasingly used due to their durability, ergonomics, acoustic control and light weight.
Special test devices are used to determine the resistance of soft flooring materials to cold cracking. These testers are applied to the cold folding test based on the Chrysler standard and are used to evaluate the low temperature performance of soft decorative materials used in automobiles. In these devices, the resistance of soft coating materials to cracking at low temperature and cold is tested. Soft decorative materials are generally synthetic leather, synthetic fiber fabric and similar materials.
Friction is defined as a force that creates resistance between the relative motions of two objects in contact. It mainly happens due to microscopic irregularities present on the surface of both objects. This means that the surface is rougher. In addition, the two main characteristics of friction are that the relative motion between two objects always occurs in the opposite direction and parallel to the contact surface. In addition, the use of friction in automobiles is one of its most important functions in daily life.
Our organization also provides surface friction test services for soft floors used in vehicles, within the scope of LP-463KB-28-01 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. .
