What is BS EN 14187-6 - Determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties about?
BS EN 14187-6 is the sixth part of the BS EN 14187 series of standards that specifies a test method to determine the adhesion/cohesion properties after immersion in test fuels or liquid chemicals.
Who is BS EN 14187-6 - Determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties for?
BS EN 14187-6 on the determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of sealing materials
- Road and airfield construction companies
- Airport authorities
- Construction industry
- Civil engineers
Why should you use BS EN 14187-6 - Determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties?
BS EN 14187-6 helps to determine cohesion properties after immersion in test fuels and liquid chemicals of joint sealants for the concrete pavement to consider which is important while selecting a sealant.
BS EN 14187-6 will help in determining the quality and the cracking property of the sealant.
Overall, BS EN 14187-6 reduces the distress levels in the concrete pavement caused by poor sealant performance and helps to reduce rehabilitation costs.
