Description / Abstract: Note: Nothing in this standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations.

Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence.

Purpose/Material Description.

Flexible Polyurethane Foam (F-PU) or Semi-Flexible Polyurethane Foam (SF-PU) with purpose of pouring directly into the back-side of A-surface trim (also known as: Backfoaming; Foam-in-Place, FIP, and Pour-in-Place, PIP) for applicable applications, including: instrument panels, door panels, soft molded seat back panels, etc. Adhesion promoters may be required to prevent delamination of foam from trim.

For F-PU foam for head restraints, armrest, and center consoles (non-PIP), et al., refer to GMW15064. For molded F-PU foam for seats, refer to GMW15471. For slab (sheeted) F-PU foam for lamination, refer to GMW15058.

Symbols.

Not applicable.

Applicability.

For back foaming of deep drawn foils, e.g., instrument panel, door panels, etc.

Remarks.

Bio, Sustainable, Recycled or Alternate Materials.

Bio-based, Sustainable Polyurethane (BS-PU) or Recycled-content Polyurethane (REC-PU) materials may be used for parts under this specification. Prior to incorporating recycled or bio-based materials into a finished product, the supplier shall provide data to GM Materials Engineering showing that no decrease in performance or durability will occur due to the use of the BSP-U or REC-PU materials.
