Buildings and Civil Engineering Works - Determination of the Staining of Porous Substrates by Sealants Used in Joints - Part 2: Test without Compression
Also Known As:
The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized method for evaluating the potential staining caused by sealants on porous substrates used in buildings and civil engineering works. The test focuses on substrates such as marble, limestone, sandstone, or granite, which are commonly found in construction projects.
The standard specifies a test without compression, meaning that the sealant is applied to the substrate without any pressure being applied. The test evaluates the staining potential by visually assessing the substrate after a specified period of time, considering factors such as color change, intensity, and spread of staining.
It is important to note that the test results are specific to the tested sealant and substrate combination and cannot be generalized to other sealant formulations or porous substrates. This emphasizes the need for individual testing for each unique combination to ensure accurate assessment and to prevent any potential staining issues in building projects.
