Hot Applied Joint Sealants - Part 13: Test Method for the Determination of the Discontinuous Extension (Adherence Test)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13880-13 standard outlines a procedure for assessing the extensibility and adhesion of hot applied sealant systems on concrete surfaces. The purpose of this test method is to simulate the movement of concrete pavement slabs during cooling conditions in wintertime.
The test involves applying the hot sealant to a concrete specimen and subjecting it to controlled cooling conditions. The specimen is then tested for its ability to withstand the discontinuous extension, which represents the movement of concrete slabs. The adhesion of the sealant to the concrete surface is also evaluated.
This standard aims to provide a standardized and reliable method for determining the performance of hot applied sealant systems used in concrete pavement applications. By testing the extensibility and adhesion of these sealants, it helps ensure that they can effectively accommodate the movement of concrete slabs and maintain a secure bond with the concrete surface.
