ASTM C1315-19 PDF Download

ASTM C1315-19 is a standard specification that outlines the requirements for liquid membrane-forming compounds used for curing and sealing concrete. These compounds are designed to possess special properties such as alkali resistance, acid resistance, adhesion-promoting qualities, and resistance to UV degradation.

The standard focuses on clear or translucent and white pigmented materials that fall into three categories: non-yellowing, moderately yellowing, or those that yellows or darkens without any restrictions. It does not cover curing compounds primarily specified for their ability to retain water in newly placed concrete. Compliance with local, regional, and national regulations regarding composition is required, as the standard is a performance specification and does not address issues related to air quality, worker exposure, or other hazards.

The standard emphasizes the importance of considering safety measures in the use of these compounds, particularly those using VOC exempt solvents that may be extremely flammable. Manufacturers and users of these compounds are responsible for adhering to relevant regulations and consulting the manufacturer's product information sheet for proper application and safety information.
