ASTM D2835-89 (R2017) PDF Download

ASTM D2835-89 (R2017) is a standard specification that defines the requirements for a lubricant used for the installation of preformed compression seals in concrete pavements. The lubricant is specifically designed to ease the insertion and positioning of elastomeric compression seals in prepared voids, typically contraction joints, in concrete pavement.

The lubricant is formulated using polychloroprene as the base material, along with soluble phenolic resins, antioxidants, and acid acceptors mixed in suitable organic solvents. The performance of the lubricant is evaluated based on several criteria, including its solids content, homogeneity, consistency, and drying rate.

This standard serves as a guideline for manufacturers and users in selecting a lubricant that meets the necessary specifications for effectively installing preformed compression seals in concrete pavements. Compliance with this standard ensures the proper functioning and longevity of the compression seals in the pavement system.
