Cold Applied Joint Sealants - Test Methods - Part 2: Determination of Tack Free Time
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14187-2 standard outlines a procedure for measuring the tack free time of cold applied joint sealants used in various applications, such as roads and airfields. The standard aims to ensure that these sealants have the appropriate properties to effectively seal joints in trafficked areas.
The test method described in the standard involves applying a sample of the sealant onto a substrate and monitoring its drying time. The tack free time refers to the period required for the sealant to dry sufficiently that it does not stick to a specified test probe or to another adjacent material.
By determining the tack free time, this standard provides a quantitative measure of the sealant's ability to reach a suitable state for further handling or traffic load. This helps in assessing the efficiency and performance of the joint sealant in practical applications. The prescribed test procedure ensures consistency and accuracy in measuring tack free time, making it a crucial aspect of quality control for cold applied joint sealants.
