Automotive SPICE

AutoSIG used ISO 15504 as a basis for Automotive SPICE . Part 2 and 5 were used for PAM and PRM. Automotive SPICE is an adaption of parts of ISO 15504 to automotive applications. 

Nitrile rubber (NBR), a copolymer of 1,3-butadiene with 20-40% acrylonitrile, is noted for its oil resistance. More than 150 million pounds are produced annually in the United States. Applications include fuel tanks, gasoline hoses, and creamery equipment. Nitrile resin is made by copolymerizing acrylonitrile with about 20-30% styrene or methyl methacrylate in the presence of NBR or SBR rubber to yield a blend of the graft terpolymer and homocopolymer. Applications include extruded and blow-molded containers for household, automotive, and other products as well as some nonbeverage foods (spices, vitamins, candy). 

Formaldehyde has been used for preservation for many years, as shown in Figure 22.9. Industrially, large quantities of formaldehyde are reacted with urea to manufacture a type of grease-resistant, hard plastic used to make buttons, appliance and automotive parts, and electrical outlets, as well as the glue that holds the layers of plywood together. Benzaldehyde and salicylaldehyde, shown in Table 22.7, are two components that give almonds their natural flavor. The aroma and flavor of cinnamon, a spice that comes from the bark of a tropical tree, are produced largely by cinnamaldehyde, also shown in Table 22.7.
