Gravimetric vs. Reflectometric Fog Testing: Which Method Should You Use? One of the most common questions asked by automotive materials engineers and laboratory managers is: "Should our laboratory perform gravimetric fog testing or reflectometric fog testing?" The answer is often both—but for different reasons. While each method evaluates the tendency of automotive interior materials to

DIN 75201 Explained: A Guide for Automotive Test Laboratories As automotive interiors continue to evolve with new polymers, adhesives, coatings, and sustainable materials, manufacturers face an ongoing challenge: ensuring these materials do not release excessive volatile compounds that can condense on interior glass surfaces. To address this concern, automotive manufacturers have adopted standardized fogging tests

Understanding VOC Fog Testing in Automotive Interior Materials Why Fogging Tests Are Critical to Vehicle Interior Quality Modern automobile interiors are expected to remain clean, odor-free, and visually appealing throughout the life of the vehicle. One of the hidden challenges facing automotive manufacturers is the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from interior materials. These
