Products and Systems for the Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures - Test Methods - Determination of Tensile Strength Development for Polymers
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1543 standard provides guidelines for measuring the tensile strength development of polymers, specifically focusing on resins like epoxy resins.
The standard outlines a specific method for determining the tensile strength of the resin system at different stages of the curing process. By measuring the tensile strength at various ages of cure and using interpolation techniques, the standard allows for the determination of the time required for the resin system to reach a specific strength threshold of 3 N/mm2.
This standard is particularly relevant for evaluating the performance and suitability of polymers used in the protection and repair of concrete structures. It provides a standardized approach for assessing the development of tensile strength during the curing process, which is crucial for ensuring the durability and effectiveness of the polymer for concrete repairs and protection applications.
