Brand: SAE
SAE 1800, formally known as ASTM D7295, is a standard testing method for measuring the fogging properties of polymeric materials commonly used in automotive applications. The test measures the degree to which a material allows fog or condensation to form on its surface when exposed to humidity or temperature changes. Materials that have low fogging properties are preferred for use in automotive applications to maintain driver visibility and reduce the need for car washes. SAE 1800 is commonly used by manufacturers to test and compare the fogging properties of different types of polymeric materials, such as vinyls, plastics, and olefinic compounds, to ensure that the materials selected meet the necessary standards.
