Standard Specification for Latex and Powder Polymer Modifiers for Use in Hydraulic Cement Concrete and Mortar
Also Known As:
The ASTM C1438-13 (R2017) standard is a specification that outlines the performance criteria for latex and powder polymer modifiers used to enhance the adhesion and reduce permeability of hydraulic cement concrete and mortar. These polymer modifiers are classified for general use or for use in moisture-free areas, and they should be able to produce mortar or concrete that meets the specified requirements.
The standard provides guidelines for the performance criteria based on property changes achieved by using the polymer modifier compared to reference concrete or mortar. It does not include prepackaged, proprietary mortar products, and it only covers materials listed in the reference or test mixtures in Test Methods C1439.
For further information on theory, benefits, limitations, and applications of polymer-modified hydraulic cementitious mixtures, the standard refers to ACI 548.3R-09.
