Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe definitions of the following terms usedin this test method are found in Terminology C 717: preformedtape sealant,
6、 sealant.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The preformed tape sealant to be tested is placed onfilter paper. The specimen is heat aged and examined formigration into the filter paper.5. Significance and Use5.1 Preformed tape sealants are tacky, deformable solidsthat are used under compression between two
7、 substrates in avariety of sealing applications. In general, oil migration orplasticizer bleed-out is not desirable. However, in some limitedinstances, a controlled amount of plasticizer migration issometimes desired in order to improve the penetration of thetape into the interstices of porous subst
8、rates. This test methodis designed to indicate whether or not a preformed tape sealantexhibits oil or plasticizer migration and, if so, to what extent.6. Apparatus6.1 Vented Air Circulating Oven, that complies with Speci-fication E 145 and is capable of aging samples at 70 6 2C(158 6 3.6F) or 100 6
9、2C (212 6 3.6F).6.2 Filter Paper,3six sheets, high-grade, rapid, 76 mm (3in.) in diameter.6.3 Weight, 1 kg (2.2 lb).7. Sampling7.1 Select a fresh roll of preformed tape sealant at least 13mm (0.5 in.) wide and 3 mm (0.125 in.) thick. Remove asection of preformed tape sealant approximately 61 cm (2 f
10、t)long from the roll and discard it.8. Test Specimens8.1 Prepare duplicate test specimens by cutting short lengthsof preformed tape sealant with the release paper still in placeand plying them together to form a solid pad having theminimum surface dimensions of 38 mm (1.5 in.) by 38 mm and3 mm (0.12
11、5 in.) thick.8.2 Place each pad of preformed tape sealant on a piece offilter paper with the release paper side up.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C24 on BuildingSeals and Sealants and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C24.20 onGeneral Test Methods.Current edi

15、.8.3 Ensure adequate contact between the preformed tapesealant and the filter paper on each specimen by placing the1-kg (2.2-lb) weight on top of the preformed tape sealant for 5s.9. Procedure9.1 Place two additional pieces of filter paper under each ofthese test specimens.9.2 Place each of these ta
16、pe-filter paper assemblies in an aircirculating oven maintained at 70 6 2C (158 6 3.6F) andcondition them for 3 weeks at this temperature. (Alternatively,samples can be conditioned for 1 week at 100 6 2C (212 63.6F).9.3 Examine the filter papers under each specimen forevidence of oil migration or pl
17、asticizer bleed-out as soon aspossible after removal from the oven. The filter paper should beviewed from the back side when held up to a light.10. Report10.1 Report the following information:10.1.1 Identification of the preformed tape sealant, that is,the name, lot number, and any other identifying
18、 characteristics.10.1.2 Oven aging conditions used for this test.10.1.3 For each specimen, number of filter papers stained orthat show evidence of oil migration.10.1.4 For each specimen, to the nearest 0.3 mm (0.01 in.)the average distance of the stain from the edge of the pad oftape on the filter p
19、aper that was in direct contact with the padof tape compound.10.1.5 For each specimen, whether there is any evidence ofstain, oil migration, or plasticizer bleed-out on the first filterpaper directly under the pad of tape compound.NOTE 1Care should be taken not to confuse the changes in filter paper
20、color or opacity due to being in direct contact with the tape with evidenceof oil migration or plasticizer bleed-out.10.2 A stain index can be determined for any one specimenby adding the average distance of the stain and the number offilter papers stained.

21、 Bias11.1 Two round robins were conducted using this procedureand a variation wherein ultraviolet lights were also used as aheat source. Different laboratories showed excellent compara-tive results when ranking the relative oil migration of tapesamples using this type of procedure.12. Keywords12.1 o
