Building and Civil Engineering Sealants - Determination of Adhesion/Cohesion Properties of Sealants after Immersion in Water
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 10591 standard provides a procedure for evaluating the effect of water immersion on the adhesion and cohesion properties of sealants used in building and civil engineering. The standard outlines the principles, test equipment, specimen preparation, test procedure, and requirements for the test report.
The purpose of the standard is to determine how water exposure impacts the performance of plastic sealants commonly used for sealing joints in building construction. By subjecting the sealants to water immersion, the standard aims to assess their ability to retain adhesion and cohesion properties over time, ensuring their durability in real-world conditions.
The standard specifies the test equipment required, such as a test frame and loading device, along with the dimensions and preparation methods for the test specimens. The test procedure involves subjecting the sealants to a specified period of immersion in water, followed by assessing their adhesion and cohesion properties using appropriate testing methods.
