Abstract
Sponge corner materials for automotive products are generally called weatherstrip. A bloom phenomenon characteristic of rubber products causes a quality problem in the production process for rubber companies. This quality problem in appearance prevents them from improving the product's quality and the process productivity. In this paper, we conduct several kinds of the design of experiment based on a quality engineering approach to identify the causes of the bloom phenomenon and to improve the appearance quality and the performance of product.
