BS EN 14187-4:2017 PDF Download

BS EN 14187-4:2017 is a standard that provides a test method for evaluating the resistance of cold applied joint sealants to the effects of exposure to various liquid chemicals and test fuels. The purpose of this test is to measure the change in mass and volume of the sealants after immersion in these substances. This standard is specifically designed to determine the ability of joint sealants to withstand the potential degradation caused by exposure to such chemicals.

The test procedure outlined in this standard involves immersing the sealant specimen in the selected test fuel or liquid chemical for a specified period of time. After the immersion period, the sealant is removed and the change in mass and volume is measured. These measurements provide an indication of the sealant's resistance and its potential to maintain its intended performance characteristics in harsh chemical environments.

This standard is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of cold applied joint sealants as it provides a reliable and standardized method for assessing their performance in relation to chemical resistance.
