ADHESIVE or NON ADHESIVE CELLULAR MATERIALS- INSULATION B65 4360 2/20

1. OBJECT AND FIELD OF APPLICATION

The object of this standard is to :
• define the symbols to be used for the characteristics of parts in cellular materials.
• specify the characteristics of categories and classes defined hereafter.
It applies to self-adhesive or non adhesive “spongy” or “honey-combed” cellular materials.
Furthermore, it applies to sheets, strips, moulded or cut out parts, etc., used to provide sealing (to water, air, dust) or
packing, or for acoustic insulation (anti-vibratory, anti-squeaking,…).
For the majority of parts in self adhesive cellular material, it defines the details to be carried on the drawing in order to
obtain the properties for use. Certain parts may be the subject of a specific document which will define the additional
required properties according to norme B20 0150 which cannot be expressed by the designations of this norme.
It must include the following standards B14 0100, B20 0110, B62 0020 and B74 0100 giving the general
requirements for consultation by Suppliers.

2. SYMBOLS
The symbol for the designation of the material consists of a group of figures and letters in the following order :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

1 Symbol for the type of material : 4 letters (according to § 6.1.).

2 Symbol for density : 2 figures (according to § 6.2.).
3 Symbol for the vehicle zone : this symbol consists of one capital letter followed by a
number. The letter refers to the specific characteristic,
the number refers to the degree to which the material
possesses this characteristics (according to § 6.3.).
4 Symbol for the material structure : this symbol consists of a capital letter followed by a
number. The letter refers to the class of material, the
number refers to the method used to manufacture the
part (according to § 6.4.).
5 Symbol for compressibility : 2 figures (according to § 6.5.).
6 Symbol for the compression rate : 1 figure (according to § 6.6.).
7 Symbol for combustibility : 1 figure (according to § 6.7.).
8 Symbol for colour fastness : 1 figure (according to § 6.8.).
9 Symbol for water absorption : 1 figure (according to § 6.9.).
10 Symbol for adhesive characteristics : 1 figure (according to § 6.10.).
11 Symbol for acoustics : 1 figure (according to § 6.11.).

Certain characteristics for specific use are not allocated a specific symbol. They carry the letter ”Z” placed at
the end of the complete designation. This letter cross refers to a “Note Z” on the drawing.

6.11. MEASUREMENT OF THE ACOUSTIC ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT IN RELATION TO FREQUENCY

The acoustic absorption coefficient is measured with the test specimen at the bottom of the tube, from 100 Hz to
6300 Hz.
The various acoustic efficiency classes are defined in Appendix 1.
The corresponding values are specified in the table of Appendix 1.
The curve analysis field ranges between 250 Hz and 6300 Hz.
3 points outside the class are tolerated (over the 15 points measured).
No point showing a variation of more than 5% lower than the referenced value of the class must be accepted.
In this case, the lower class must be considered as being the class for the absorbent.
Each measurement curve must be shown with values.

Note : If different results are obtained from the same sample between the two measuring equipment Kundt
tube according to test method D45 5014 and Impedance tube according to test method D45 5430,
only the results from the Impedance tube shall be used.
According to the function and efficiency required from the sound proofing material, an acoustic class
shall or shall not be specified (from 1 to 4). A dash (-) means that there is no requirement.
In the case of specific requirements for these characteristics, these are indicated in the designation by
the letter “X” with a corresponding detailed note on the drawing.

Appendix 2 (1/3)
NUMERICAL CROSS REFERENCES

(1) All types of production substrates.

(2) The receiver substrate must be suitable for bonding, which means :
• clean
• unpolluted
• without condensation.
To achieve this, the work station for the carrier substrate must also be clean (free from dust, grease,
anti-adhesive product…).
Under no circumstances should the temperature of the receiver substrate be lower than that of the
workshop (condensation created by introducing a cold part into a warmer location is totally
incompatible with proper bonding). If it is lower than 15°C, the receiver substrate should be heated up.
In the case of a contaminated surface (dust, traces of grease…), cleaning with a lint free absorbent
paper soaked in alcohol (denatured alcohol or isopropanol) shall be necessary before bonding.

(3) • Parts bonded in Production Centres : Parts shall be transported and stored away from humidity
and external pollution. No detachment of the protective film or damage to parts are tolerated during
transport and storage.
The storage temperature shall be between – 10°C and 50°C; the exposure of parts to any significant
heat sources is to be avoided.
The protective film must be removed from the part without damage or tear, or loss of adhesive
property even after 6 months storage in the conditions stated above.

• Parts delivered to Production Centres already fitted or bonded : No damage or tear, or

detachment are tolerated during transport and storage within a temperature range of – 20°C to 50°C
before fitting to body.

(4) The fitting of these parts shall be carried out manually. The temperature of the receiver substrate,
during bonding, shall be between 15°C and 40°C. A slight warm up at 35°C, 40°C shall reactivate the
glue and improve the adhesion immediately (in particular for parts which are not bonded on flat
substrates).
The protective film must not be removed beforehand. Any part retrieved from storage with a section of
the protective film removed, shall be scrapped.

All contact of the adhesive with a contaminated surface is to be avoided at all cost, in particular with
hands.

Pressure must mandatorily be applied to each part to guarantee proper bonding.

The pressure application may be carried out :

• with a rubber roller,
• by smoothing out manually,
• by inflatable bag, etc.

During application of pressure, care must be taken as not to damage or tear the part.

Note : For parts bonded onto several faces, care must be taken as not to elongate the part during
application or bond it under stress.

The part must be correctly positioned before applying the pressure so as to avoid any removing/re-
bonding which would damage the adhesive.

(5) Self-adhesive cellular materials with a protective film with one anti-adhesive face minimum.

(6) Without detachment or separation of the adhesive/cellular material.

(7) After ageing, a maximum variation of plus or minus 20% is tolerated. During these tests, no tear of the
protective film or damage to the adhesive is tolerated.

Note : No detachment of the protective film during transport, storage and handling of parts is tolerated.

(8) Dimensional variation

Check the dimensional variations on a test specimen consisting of a toughened glass plate and the
part bonded together according to the diagram below :

Reference marks (length)

Glass plate

Reference marks (width) Inspected element

Trace symmetrical reference marks along the length L and the width L’ according to the above
diagram by means of a paring knife.
24 hours after bonding, subject the test specimen to the conditions shown in this norme (the maximum
operating temperature is specified in the § 6.2., according to the material designation).
After the test, condition the test specimen for 1 hour at 23°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 5% relative humidity.
Measure the dimensional variations by means of a suitable device capable of measuring 1/20 mm.
Express the results in mm (absolute values over L and L’).

(9) To check the adhesion, the peeling at right angle test shall be carried out in accordance with
test method D51 1485 or a tensile shear test in accordance with MES D41 1108 according to the
thickness, density and hardness of the material. However, the peeling at right angle test is preferred.
