Hot Applied Joint Sealants - Part 7: Function Testing of Joint Sealants
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13880-7 standard outlines a testing procedure for the evaluation of hot-applied joint sealants. This standard specifically focuses on sealants used in construction joints and cracks in road and airfield pavements, where they are exposed to temperatures as low as -20 °C and joint movements of up to 35%.
The function test described in this standard aims to assess the performance of joint sealants under these challenging conditions. It provides guidance on how to evaluate the ability of the sealant to maintain its adhesive and cohesive properties, resist crack formation, and withstand thermal cycling and movement in the joints.
This document is valuable for manufacturers, contractors, and specifiers involved in the selection and application of joint sealants, as it provides a standardized procedure for testing and evaluating their performance.
