[International Material Data System (IMDS)]


The IMDS is the material data system for the automotive industry. It is a joint development by Audi, BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Opel, Porsche, VW and the Swedish firm Volvo. Other car manufacturers have since joined the group.
In the IMDS, all the materials/parts used in vehicle manufacture are archived and managed. This is nowadays the only way to comply with the obligations placed on car manufacturers – and thus also on automotive suppliers – by national and international standards, laws and regulations, for example E.U. Directive 2000/53/EC on the recycling of end-of-life vehicles.
As one of the leading manufacturers of thermoplastics for the automotive industry, Bayer MaterialScience, with the agreement of the automotive industry, is allowed to enter its data sheets into the IMDS database system.

The Bayer MaterialScience company ID is: 2469

Our material data sheets are not published in the IMDS and, as such, are not accessible generally to all the participants in the IMDS. We can, however, give our customers access to the data sheets on request (mode "propose"). If you would like us to do this, please send a short e-mail to the following address: IMDS-PCS.TPU@bayermaterialscience.com

We need the following details:
Product name e.g. Desmopan®
Product grade e.g. 150
Color e.g. 000000 (natural)

We also need your IMDS company ID under which access to the data sheet will be granted and, if desired as an entry, its internal material or article number.
