Scope
This Technical Supply Specification (TL) specifies both the component requirements for thermo
plastic elastomers combined with thermoplasts and the pure thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) appli
cations used externally for finished parts. These include, for example, the plenum panel cover, mir
ror triangle, outer sill cover, water catching strip, roof trim strip, Cd-enhancing sill, and splash
guard.
As an example, the following materials may be used here:
TPO-(EPDM+PP) non-cross-linked EPDM+PP polymer mixture
TPV-(EPDM+PP) cross-linked EPDM+PP polymer mixture
SEBS styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene copolymer
TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
Always use the latest version of this standard.

This electronically generated standard is authentic and valid without signature.
The English translation is believed to be accurate. In case of discrepancies, the German version is alone authoritative and controlling.

Description
See material data sheet.

3
Requirements
3.1
Basic requirements
Approval of first supply and changes as per VW 01155.

Resistance to open-air weathering as per VW 50185.
Avoidance of hazardous substances as per VW 91101.
The number of required parts may vary according to the component designs (consultation re
quired).
3.2
Material general notes/explanations
See material data sheet and section 5.1.

The technological properties of the materials used for the components must ensure the function
and safety of the vehicle over the entire service life. Fillers such as talc and mineral fillers, as well
as modifying agents used for heat and UV stabilization purposes, are permissible.
In components made of composite materials (metal/plastic, adhesive bond, hard/soft combination),
compatibility of the materials must be ensured. If necessary, the materials must be matched to
each other by means of pretreatments (e.g., bonding agents).
In the case of a pure TPE application with a hard component and without adhesive bond, the tests
must be conducted, except for section 4.6 to section 4.9.
If the material for the finished part is changed during development or during ongoing production,
this change must be presented and examined in all cases. Where applicable, a new build sample
approval (BMG) is required (only in the case of parts subject to build sample approval).
Material quality grades that have not yet been recorded in the material data sheets must have
been tested positively beforehand (e.g., by means of road tests, hot/cold country tests, and test
beds), and the basic requirements of the component as described in section 4 fulfilled. The new
material grades can then be included in the material data sheets.
In general, materials that are not yet in the data sheet collection may also be used. The data
sheets are supplemented within the scope of release testing. This is to ensure that newly devel
oped materials can also be used.
Material data sheets (MD) for the various designs can be obtained from the GQL-LP/4 Department,
and as an appendix to this TL via NOLIS (only available in the German version), and can be re
quested by the manufacturing plants' appropriate Quality Assurance departments if necessary (for
a sample material data sheet, see section A.1).
There is a test plan in the appendix of the TL (as per the example of a test plan section A.2 and
the material data sheets), which the component supplier must use as a basis for the initial sample
test and build sample test. This test plan is stored in a writable PDF document so that it can be
used directly from the TL. The purpose of the test plan form is to increase the clarity of the initial
Page 3
TL 52622: 2014-12
sample and materials test reports and reduce the frequency of errors (e.g., tests that should have
but were not performed, incorrect interpretation of testing procedures, etc.).
3.3
Marking as per VDA 260
German Institute for Standardization (DIN) standards DIN EN ISO 1043-1, DIN EN ISO 1043-2,
DIN EN ISO 11469, and DIN EN ISO 18064 serve as the basis for the marking. Marking must be
carried out as per these standards.
The markings for the released material qualities must be obtained from the corresponding material
data sheets.
3.4
Types
As per drawing
3.5
As per drawing
Injection molding process, 2-component injection molding, extrusion

3.6
Appearance
The surface and interior of the components must be free of flaws and processing defects, such as
flow lines, voids, cracks, or similar faults. Sink marks at the base of ribs and reinforcements are
permissible only if they do not adversely affect the part's function or appearance.
3.7
Conditioning
Prior to testing, the components and the specimens taken from the components must be condi
tioned in the ISO 554 23/50 standard climate for at least 48 hours. Where necessary, deviating
conditioning processes are described in the respective material data sheets.
3.8
Evaluation of the measurement results
The required numerical values apply to each individual measurement.

3.9
Types as per material data sheet
The mechanical material data specified in a material data sheet are valid only for the material type
of one or more suppliers that has been evaluated positively in terms of the material and released
by the laboratory (as per section 1.1 of the material data sheet).
4
General requirements for the finished part
The general requirements apply to every material quality and material combination. Mechanical
properties described in the material data sheets may vary depending on additional requirements. In
every case, both the general requirements and the material-specific requirements must be met in
order to describe the material quality actually used (also see the example test plan in section A.2).
4.1
Temperature resistance
The component must be resistant to temperatures ranging from (-30 to +90) C and must be func
tional for the entire service life of the vehicle. Deviating temperature limits must be determined if
Page 4
TL 52622: 2014-12
applicable and specified in all cases, since this will also require stricter aging stabilization require
ments.
4.2
Behavior at elevated temperatures
See section 5.2.

The components must exhibit no changes in shape, color, or surface that would adversely affect
the function and/or appearance.
4.3
Low-temperature behavior
See section 5.3.

The components must remain fully functional and free of damage when exposed to cold and sub
sequently heated to (23 2) C. Visual impairments are also not permissible in the visible area.
4.4
Resistance to chemicals
See section 5.4.

The parts must be resistant to commercial car-cleaning and care products such as 5% detergent
solutions, industrial dust removers, and paint cleaners.
There must be no changes such as dissolving processes, swelling, discoloring, and/or cracking.
It must be ensured here that contact is avoided with cleaning agents and transit coating removers
containing hydrocarbons, since the elastomer parts in the components may react sensitively (swel
ling, deformation, change in color) to these substances.
4.5
Resistance to aging
See section 5.5.

The temperature level in the forced air oven is based on the temperatures to which the finished
part will actually be subjected. The aging behavior depends greatly on the material used and is
therefore described in the relevant material data sheet if required. Beginning with 90 C in the exte
rior, the test is conducted for 500 h at 100 C. In the process, any potential combined system
(hard/soft combination) must also be taken into account in the evaluation, to be able to rule out in
teractions between soft components and substrate.
4.6
Long-term behavior at low temperatures (only if required in the material data sheet)
See section 5.6.

During aging, stabilizers must not alter the color of the component's surface. This applies in partic
ular to components that are not exposed to direct sunlight (e.g. end strips) but are still visible.
4.7
Adhesive strength (only for hard/soft combinations)
See section 5.7.

Adhesive strength > tear strength; a lower adhesive strength can be accepted in individual cases
(minimum requirement: 90 N/20 mm).
Page 5
TL 52622: 2014-12
4.8
Environmental cycle test
As per PV 2005; 60 cycles unless otherwise specified in the drawing.

No changes in shape, color, adhesion, or surface.
4.9
Test for interactions of the hard/soft compound (only if required in the material data
sheet)
See section 5.8.

The components must not exhibit any changes to their shape, color, or surface that would adverse
ly affect their function and/or appearance.
4.10
Xenon arc light aging
Applies exclusively to unpainted parts and parts located in the field of view; painted parts are tes
ted as per TL 211. See table 1.

Notes on testing
5.1
Material
Identification can be performed using the attenuated total reflection variant of the FTIR (Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy) procedure.
Page 6
TL 52622: 2014-12
The filler content can be determined by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) or ashing (as
per DIN EN ISO 3451-1).
5.2
Heat-aging testing as per DIN 53497, method B, on at least one complete component.
Aging period:
Aging temperature:
5.3
(24 2) h
(90 1) C (unless otherwise specified)
Low-temperature behavior
Environmental aging of at least one complete finished part.

Aging period:
Aging temperature:
(24 2) h
(-30 1) C
The evaluation is conducted after heating to (23 2) C.

5.4
Finished part sections measuring (80 x 20) mm must be immersed for 30 min at (23 2) C (only
one half of each section) in
5% detergent solution1)
Glass cleaner1)
Paint cleaner1)
(at least 1 specimen per agent). This treatment must be followed by a 24 h period of aging in air at
(23 2) C (having taken the specimen from the particular agent, let excess agent drip off only).
Afterwards, the specimens must be rubbed clean with a cloth soaked with water or isopropanol.
Subsequently, the specimens must be evaluated.
5.5
Aging test
A finished part or finished-part section is placed in the forced air oven at the appropriate tempera
ture. As soon as there are substantially visible changes under heat, or the onset of decomposition
of the soft and/or hard component (if present) occurs, the end point is reached. Exuding of ingredi
ents (plasticizers, stabilizers) can only be tolerated if the residue does not permanently remain on
the parts. For this purpose, the aged parts must be conditioned for an additional 200 h at
(23 2) C room temperature and then evaluated again.
Should visible residues still remain, the heat aging test must be repeated as per the actually occur
ring temperatures (at 90 C as a general rule).
5.6
Long-term behavior at low temperatures
Aging is performed for 240 h at -5 C. The components are then visually evaluated (only if required
in the material data sheet).
5.7
Adhesive strength
For the adhesive strength test, specimens of 2 cm in width must be taken from the respective fin
ished parts; these specimens must include both the rigid component and the soft lip (exception:
1)
e.g., products from the Volkswagen line of products
Page 7
TL 52622: 2014-12
parts with a soft lip molded onto their entire surface). The specimens manufactured in this manner
must then be clamped in the tensile test machine (e.g. from Zwick) so that the soft lip and hard
component are on one support each (make sure that the two supports are parallel!). The speci
mens must then be pulled apart at v = 50 mm/min. Adhesive strength > tear strength is satisfied if
the soft lip itself tears (the residual pieces of the soft lip must still be attached to the hard compo
nent).
5.8
Test for interactions of the hard/soft compound
This test must eliminate possible interactions between hard and soft material components that can
lead to bloomings caused by transferring of stabilizers of the substrate to the surface.
Long-term testing is conducted over 1 000 h at +90 C in the forced air oven. After removal, the
parts are aged for at least another 500 h in a standard climate (+23 C at 50% relative humidity).
Finally, the parts are visually evaluated.
5.9
Density
Testing as per DIN EN ISO 1183-1

Buoyancy method; any existing coat of paint does not have to be removed.
Three test specimens, which are taken from different points in the finished part, must be tested.
For encapsulations over the entire area, the soft lip must be carefully removed using a scalpel.
5.10
Hardness test as per Shore
Hardness test as per Shore A and Shore D as specified in DIN ISO 7619-1.
Specimen thickness:
Reading time:
6 mm (several test specimens can be stacked)

after 3 s
At least three test specimens, which are taken from different points on the finished part, must be
tested.
If the whole surface of hard component is completely encapsulated, the test must be conducted
directly on the finished part. If the wall thickness of the soft encapsulation is too low for a test, the
test must be noted as "not feasible" in the inspection report.
5.11
Tensile strength and elongation at tear
Only applies to mechanically stressed soft components; whether the tests are necessary is listed in
the respective data sheets!
Determining tensile strength and elongation at tear on thermoplastic elastomers as per DIN 53504
Dumb-bell specimen:
Pre-load:
Traverse speed:
S 2; in unfavorable cases, dumb-bell specimens S 3 or

S 3A can also be used.
<0.1 MPa with a traverse speed of <50 mm/min
200 mm/min
If it is not possible to cut the dumb-bell specimens out of the finished part (e.g., parts that are com
pletely encapsulated), this must be noted in the inspection report as "not feasible". In this case, the
test is irrelevant, since it does not make any statement regarding the function of the parts.
The tensile test for the aged specimens is conducted as described above (after conditioning the
specimens at room temperature).
Page 8
TL 52622: 2014-12
5.12
Specimen removal
Due to different component geometries, no generalized recommendation for removing the samples
can be specified. Only the following points must be noted:
For molded components, any areas with a potentially overhanging soft lip must be used. In the
process, tapered specimens must be avoided, since they distort the result.
To enable a better evaluation of the processing characteristics, specimens must, if possible, be
taken from the entire length of the component.
For heavily tapered parts at the injection ends (e.g., water catching strips), the specimens for xe
non arc light aging must be taken from the injection ends, since these represent the critical area.
For xenon arc light aging, the specimens must be taken from the encapsulated area to facilitate
simultaneous evaluation of substrate influences (e.g., adhesion, diffusion of ingredients between
the soft and hard component). Specimens must be clamped in the supports of the xenon arc light
aging devices such that the soft lip is the exposed side.
