ISO 13640:2018 PDF Download

ISO 13640:2018 is a standard that provides specifications for test substrates used in the evaluation of sealants for buildings and civil engineering works. The standard outlines the procedures for creating substrates made of mortar, glass, and anodized aluminum. By defining the composition and preparation methods of these substrates, the standard aims to ensure the reproducibility of standardized sealant tests.

The purpose of these substrate requirements is to establish a consistent and reliable basis for testing the performance of sealants. The document emphasizes the importance of precise substrate composition and preparation in order to accurately assess the quality and effectiveness of the sealants being tested. It is worth noting that the substrates specified in this standard serve as indicators of sealant performance rather than replicating the characteristics of actual construction materials.
