ASTM C1852-20 PDF Download

The ASTM C1852-20 standard provides guidance for selecting and using aerosol foam sealants in building construction applications. The purpose of this guide is to summarize relevant test methods and performance criteria of aerosol foam sealants, helping users identify appropriate material properties and suitable applications. Manufacturers can also utilize this guide to understand how their foam sealant products are expected to perform in the marketplace.

However, it is important to note that this standard has limitations and does not cover all possible end use applications. For specific performance capabilities, third-party reports, or International Code Council evaluation reports, it is recommended to consult the aerosol foam sealant manufacturer.

The standard focuses on aerosol polyurethane and aerosol latex foams, which are commonly used in building envelope air barrier sealant and adhesive applications. It provides an overview of associated standards and test methods that quantify key physical properties, making it a valuable resource for design professionals, engineers, specifiers, and end users.
