Buildings and Civil Engineering Works - Determination of the Staining of Porous Substrates by Sealants Used in Joints - Part 1: Test with Compression
Also Known As:
The DIN ISO 16938-1 standard is focused on determining the staining of porous substrates caused by sealants used in joints in buildings and civil engineering works. This standard specifies a test method that involves applying the sealant to the porous substrate and subjecting it to compression. The goal of the test is to evaluate the potential for staining as a result of the compression of the specimens.
The standard emphasizes that the test results are specific to the sealant and substrate being tested and cannot be generalized to other sealant formulations or porous substrates. It also mentions that previous experience with similar test methods in different countries has shown that compressing the specimens can accelerate the occurrence of staining.
