Interphasal adhesion failure, withinthe sealant or substrate near the interface, is less common and may appear to beinterfacial without the use of magnification.FIG. 1 Adhesion Failurechalking, vin building construction, formation of a powder on the surfac

18、l exposure.DiscussionSoftening and the ability to permanently reshape a seal or sealantusually characterizes reversion. Depending on a specific seal or sealantformulation, high heat, ultraviolet radiation, or moisture (as a liquid or vapor) maycause reversion acting either alone or in combination. T

20、capillary action, kinetic energy, and air currents. Typical movementof contaminants includes fluid migration and blooming from a sealant, deposit ofatmospheric pollutants, and chemical staining.FIG. 8 RundownC1756 17a3APPENDIXX1.
