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

The History of DIDP (Diisodecyl Phthalate) as the Industry Reference Material for Automotive VOC Fog Testing Why One Plasticizer Became the Industry Benchmark—Despite Its Known Variability In automotive interior materials testing, few reference materials have been used as consistently as Diisodecyl Phthalate (DIDP). For more than three decades, DIDP has served as the reference liquid
