ASTM C712-22 PDF Download

The ASTM C712-22 standard focuses on evaluating the extent of bubble formation or surface blistering in solvent-release type sealants when subjected to elevated temperatures. This test method provides a way to measure the performance and reliability of these sealants under specific conditions.

The scope of this standard specifies that it applies to one-part, elastomeric sealants that release solvents. It aims to determine the degree of bubbling or blistering that occurs on the surface of the sealant when exposed to elevated temperatures. By performing this test, manufacturers and users can assess the effectiveness of the sealant and identify any potential issues related to bubble formation that might affect its long-term performance.

Additionally, the standard highlights that there is no similar international standard recognized by the subcommittee with jurisdiction. This indicates the uniqueness of this ASTM standard and, therefore, the importance of adopting it within the industry for consistent testing and evaluation of solvent-release type sealants.
