BS EN 12618-1:2003 PDF Download

BS EN 12618-1:2003 is a standard that focuses on the test methods for evaluating the adhesion and elongation capacity of injection products with limited ductility, which are used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. This standard provides a reference procedure for determining the adhesive bond capacity and elongation capacity of these injection products.

The objective of this standard is to assess the effectiveness of the injection products in filling cracks and cavities in concrete structures. By evaluating the adhesive bond capacity, the standard measures the ability of the injection product to bond with the concrete substrate. Additionally, the elongation capacity is assessed to determine the product's ability to withstand dynamic forces and retain its shape without failure.

The test methods described in this standard help in determining the performance characteristics of injection products. This information is crucial for selecting appropriate products for concrete repair and protection, ensuring the longevity and structural integrity of concrete structures. Compliance with this standard ensures that the injection products meet the necessary criteria for adhesion and elongation capacity, providing a reliable and durable solution for the protection and repair of concrete structures.
