What is BS EN 14187-1 - Determination of the rate of cure of cold applied joint sealants about ?
BS EN 14187-1 is the first part of the BS EN 14187 series of standards that describes the determination of the rate of cure of cold applied joint sealants indicated by the build-up of the tensile modulus during the cure.
Who is BS EN 14187-1 - Determination of the rate of cure of cold applied joint sealants for ?
BS EN 14187-1 on determination of the rate of cure of cold applied joint sealants is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of joint sealants
- Construction industry
- Civil engineers
Why should you use BS EN 14187-1 - Determination of the rate of cure of cold applied joint sealants ?
Cold applied joint sealants are used to seal joints and openings (gaps) between two or more substrates, and are a critical component for building design and construction. The main purpose of sealants is to prevent air, water, and other environmental elements from entering or exiting a structure while permitting limited movement of the substrates. The function test described under BS EN 14187-1 helps in assessing the damage of the cold-applied sealants arising from the influence of fluctuating temperatures during the manufacturing process.
