VW PV 1015 Test for Contact Corrosion from Elastomers and Plastics in Contact with Light Alloys

EUROLAB Laboratory offers a full range of automotive testing services, including all requirement, from chemical analysis to mechanical and environmental testing for automotive parts according to Volkswagen standards. EUROLAB provides accredited testing services to manufacturers, designers and all bidders in outsourcing in automotive laboratories to perform routine and non-routine automotive components, parts and full vehicle tests.

This standard defines the requirements for parts made of elastomers and plastics, as well as window adhesives associated with light alloys on body or body components in white. In addition, requirements are specified for parts made of elastomers and plastics outside the body and bonded to light alloys, and for window adhesives.

If light alloys are bonded to more noble metals or n-type solids, they are likely to corrode in the presence of aqueous electrolytes. Elastomers and plastics must have a satisfactory specific volume resistivity to prevent such corrosion. This also applies to materials bonded to painted light alloy surfaces, as paint coatings are susceptible to possible damage, paint defects, etc. It does not provide full protection against galvanic corrosion.
