Hot applied joint sealants - Part 10: Test Method for the Determination of Adhesion and Cohesion Following Continuous Extension and Compression
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13880-10 standard is focused on testing the adhesion and cohesion properties of hot applied joint sealants. It provides a specific method for determining these characteristics by subjecting the sealant specimens to continuous extension and compression cycles.
The purpose of this test is to simulate the yearly joint movements that occur due to temperature changes. By subjecting the specimens to cyclic extensions, the standard aims to assess the sealant's ability to maintain adhesion and cohesion under these conditions.
This standard is important for ensuring that hot applied joint sealants meet the necessary requirements for withstanding long-term movements and maintaining their effectiveness. It provides a systematic and standardized approach for testing the adhesion and cohesion properties, allowing for accurate and reliable assessment of the sealants' performance.
