ASTM C1737-16 PDF Download

The ASTM C1737-16 standard provides guidelines for evaluating the temperature effects on aerosol foam sealants, specifically polyurethane and latex types.

The purpose of this standard is to estimate the observed product dispensing character and foam quality of aerosol foam sealants at specific temperatures and standard conditions. It is important to note that this guide does not measure the precise temperature range for dispensing and curing the product under all possible substrate and environmental factors. Instead, it provides a basis for benchmarking foam sealant products under specific laboratory conditions.

The guide emphasizes that the product user should evaluate each application and determine the suitability of the foam sealant for actual use. The foam sealants discussed in this standard are primarily used to reduce air movement in building enclosures.
