ISO 10591:2005 PDF Download

ISO 10591:2005 is a standard that outlines a method for assessing the effects of water immersion on the adhesion cohesion properties of sealants used in building construction. The standard focuses on sealants that exhibit mostly plastic behavior and are commonly used in joints.

The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent and reliable test method to evaluate the performance of sealants when exposed to water. It helps to determine how well the sealants retain their adhesion and cohesion properties in wet conditions, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and durability of joints in buildings.

By subjecting the sealants to immersion in water and then evaluating their adhesion cohesion properties, this standard ensures that only sealants of high quality and performance are used in building construction. It helps in selecting sealants that can withstand the potential effects of water exposure and continue to provide effective sealing and bonding even in wet environments.
