Building Construction - Jointing Products - Determination of Adhesion/Cohesion Properties of Sealants After Exposure to Heat, Water and Artificial Light Through Glass
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 11431 standard focuses on the evaluation of adhesion and cohesion properties of sealants used in building construction. This standard outlines a specific testing method that involves subjecting sealant samples to cyclic exposure to heat, artificial light, and water. The purpose of this exposure is to simulate the effects of natural weather conditions on sealants during their service life.
The standard emphasizes the importance of assessing the adhesion/cohesion properties of sealants as they play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of joints and preventing water or air leakage in buildings. By subjecting sealant samples to various environmental factors, this standard aims to evaluate the performance and durability of sealants under realistic conditions.
The testing procedure described in DIN EN ISO 11431 includes exposing sealant samples to alternating cycles of heat, artificial light, and water at defined temperatures. This cyclic exposure is designed to replicate the stresses and degradation that sealants may encounter in real-world applications. The standard provides guidelines on the equipment, test conditions, and evaluation criteria to ensure consistent and reliable results.
