KRAIBURG TPE offers international standard of low odour and emission TPE


Partnering towards automotive odour reference materials for international test method

KRAIBURG TPE is collaborating with imat-uve, the global test leader for the global automotive odour and emission standards in which its materials are proudly used as odour reference materials for the automotive industry’s international standard test method.

 

KRAIBURG TPE leads in global automotive TPE odour standards

imat-uve GmbH is a renowned international expert in emission testing and validation of materials, components and systems for the automotive industry. There are various types of imat-uve high precision standard materials for odour tests which serve as references for standard test methods such as VDA270.

 

imat-uve’s high precision standard material benchmark launched during the Emission and Odour Conference held in 2018 in Shanghai, China allows customers to calibrate their test panels and instruments to achieve automotive OEMs and suppliers’ industry standards.

 

According to imat-uve’s newsletter published on 2018: “Andreas Dörner from KRAIBURG TPE GmbH & Co. KG presented his company’s developments regarding the emission behaviour of KRAIBURG TPE materials. Afterwards, imat-uve CEO Hans Peter Schlegelmilch also introduced the material emission behaviour to participants as a new approach to standardizing odour and emission tests using standard materials developed by imat-uve.”

After purchasing the high precision standard material and testing it in-house, customers can compare the test values with the default values in the unique online validation tool, and a match or deviation will be provided graphically.
