Standard Specification for Asphalt Roof Cement, Asbestos-Free
Also Known As:
The ASTM D4586/D4586M-07 (R2018) standard is a specification for asphalt roof cement that is free from asbestos. It describes the testing and requirements for two types and two classes of this roof cement. The asphalt roof cement is composed of an asphalt base, volatile petroleum solvents, and mineral and/or other stabilizers. It is mixed to a smooth, uniform consistency that is suitable for trowel application to roofing and flashing.
The standard defines two types of asphalt roof cement: Type I and Type II. Type I is made from asphalts that are self-healing, adhesive, and ductile, while Type II is made from asphalt that has a high softening point and relatively low ductility.
The standard also distinguishes between two classes of asphalt roof cement: Class I and Class II. Class I is used for application to essentially dry surfaces, while Class II is used for application to damp, wet, or underwater surfaces.
In addition to composition limits for water, nonvolatile matter, mineral and/or other stabilizers, and bitumen (asphalt), the roof cements must meet physical requirements such as uniformity, workability, and pliability. The behavior of the roof cements at specific temperatures is also specified in the standard.
