Significance and Use7.1 This specification covers several classifications of seal-ants as described in Section 4 for various applications. Itshould be recognized by the purchas

30、er or design professionalthat not all sealants meeting this specification are suitable forall applications and all substrates. It is essential, therefore, thatthe applicable type, grade, class, and use be specified so thatthe proper classification of sealant is provided for the intendeduse. Test met

31、hods relate to special standard specimen sub-strates of mortar, glass, and aluminum. If tests are requiredusing substrates in addition to or other than the standard, theyshould be so specified for testing.8.

Inaddition, the sealant shall show no more than 25 % adhesivebond loss for each individual test.NOTE 3Curing conditio

41、ns are specified by all of the test methodscited. The manufacturer may request other conditions than those specifiedfor the curing period provided they meet the following requirements: (1)the curing period shall extend for 21 days; (2) the temperature during thecuring period shall not exceed 50C (12

42、2F); and (3) the amended curingconditions recommended by the manufacturer shall also be applied to thedurability, adhesion in peel, and ultraviolet radiation exposure tests.8.10 Adhesion-in-Peel for Use G Exposed to UltravioletExposure Through GlassThe peel strength for each indi-vidual test shall n

43、ot have less than 22.2 N (5 lbf) and thecompound shall be no more than 25 % adhesive bond loss foreach individual test when tested in accordance with TestMethod C794 modified to include 200 h in an acceleratedweathering device followed by 7 days immersion in distilledwater.8.10.1 Exposure ApparatusT

44、he exposure apparatus shallbe one of the three types of laboratory accelerated weatheringdevices described in Practice C1442, that use either xenon arc,fluorescent UV or open flame carbon arc radiation. ConsultPractice C1442 for the differences in test parameters among thedevices. Because of differe

45、nces in test conditions, test resultsmay differ with the type of device used. The choice of deviceshall be by mutual agreement among the interested parties.8.10.1.1 When peel adhesion is to be tested on glasssubstrate specimens after ultraviolet exposure through glass,place the specimens in the weat

46、hering device with the sealantsurface facing away from the light source after 21 days of cureat laboratory conditions. Test conditions in each type of deviceare in accordance with the procedures in C1442, Section 7 onApparatus, except that the xenon arc and open flame carbon arcdevices shall be oper

47、ated without the water spray. Expose thespecimens for 200 h and then continue with 7 days of waterimmersion.NOTE 4Although the xenon arc irradiance setting of 0.35 W/(m2nm)at 340 mm is acceptable, Practice C1442 specifies 0.51 W/(m2nm) at 340mm as the preferred setting. To accommodate testing in xen

48、on arcweathering devices that cannot use the higher irradiance setting, 0.35W/(m2nm) at 340 nm may be used if the length of the total exposure timeis increased to provide the equivalent radiant exposure received at 0.51W/(m2nm) at 340 nm for 200 h exposure. See Annex A1 in PracticeC1442 for determin

49、ing the exposure time.8.10.2 Immediately following the weathering cycle, com-pletely immerse the specimen in distilled or deionized waterfor 7 days. Mortar specimens are placed in a separate containerfrom the glass and aluminum specimens, because the highlyalkali conditions generated could have an effect on the glassand aluminum.8.11 Effects of Accelerated Weathering The sealant shallshow no cracks greater than those shown in Example #2 of Fig.1 in Test Method C793 after the specified ultraviolet exposureand shall show no cracks gre
