Hot Applied Joint Sealants: Test Method for the Determination of the Discontinuous Extension (Adherence Test)
Also Known As:
BS EN 13880-13:2018 is a standard that provides a test method for determining the discontinuous extension and adherence of hot applied joint sealants. Specifically, this standard focuses on sealant systems used for concrete pavement slabs, both with and without priming.
The test method described in the standard simulates the movement of concrete pavement slabs during cooling conditions in wintertime. It measures the extensibility of the sealant system and its adhesion to concrete. This information is important in assessing the performance and durability of the sealant system in real-world conditions.
By following the guidelines outlined in BS EN 13880-13:2018, manufacturers, contractors, and other stakeholders can ensure that the hot applied joint sealants they use meet the necessary quality and performance standards. This standard provides a standardized and reliable test method for evaluating the effectiveness of sealant systems, ultimately helping to ensure the longevity and functionality of concrete pavement structures.
