Mastic Asphalt for Waterproofing - Definitions, Requirements and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12970 standard provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and utilizing mastic asphalts in waterproofing applications. The standard begins by defining mastic asphalts and their intended purpose in waterproofing. It then proceeds to outline the specific characteristics that these materials should possess, ensuring that they meet the necessary requirements for effective waterproofing.
The standard also emphasizes the importance of testing mastic asphalts to ensure compliance with the defined characteristics. It specifies the test methods that should be utilized to assess properties like temperature susceptibility, penetration, softening point, and adhesion. By providing these standardized test methods, the standard enables consistent evaluation of mastic asphalts across different manufacturers and projects.
Furthermore, the DIN EN 12970 standard offers recommendations for the manufacturing and transportation of mastic asphalts. This ensures that these materials are produced and delivered in a manner that maintains their integrity and performance.
