5、e definitions of the following terms usedin this test method are found in Terminology C717: preformedtape sealant, sealant.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The preformed tape sealant to be tested is applied to analuminum panel. The assembly is heat aged, then placed in thefreezer where the panel is quic

6、kly bent over a mandrel. Thespecimen is examined for cracking and loss of adhesion.5. Significance and Use5.1 Preformed tape sealants are tacky, deformable solidsthat are used under compression between two substrates in avariety of sealing applications. This procedure is not intendedto simulate an a

7、ctual use condition, but it will give someindication of the flexibility and adhesion of a tape at lowtemperature. It can serve to differentiate between flexible tapesthat can take some movement and those that tend to harden orembrittle on aging and crack or lose adhesion when flexed atlow temperatur

8、e. It will also aid in identifying sealants thathave poor flexibility because they are overextended andcontain a low level of binder as well as those sealants havingbinders that will embrittle at low temperature.6. Apparatus6.1 Freezer Unit, capable of maintaining a temperature of23 6 2C (10 6 3.6F)

9、.6.2 Aluminum Panel (unpolished), approximately 0.635mm (0.025 in.) thick, 76 mm (3 in.) wide, and 152 mm (6 in.)long.6.3 Steel Mandrel, 25.4 mm (1 in.) in diameter, withsupporting holder or rack.6.4 Vented Air Circulating Oven, that complies with Speci-fication E145 and is capable of maintaining a

10、temperature of 706 2C (158 6 3.6F).7. Sampling7.1 Samples to be tested shall be taken from a fresh roll oftape sealant after first removing and discarding approximatelythe first 0.61 m (2 ft) of the roll.8. Test Specimen8.1 Prepare the test specimen as follows:8.1.1 Clean the 76-mm by 152-mm (3-in.

11、by 6-in.) alumi-num panel with methyl ethyl ketone or similar solvent.8.1.2 Place a 102-mm (4-in.) length of tape in the center ofthe panel with its length paralleling that of the panel, leavingthe release paper in place on the preformed tape sealant.8.1.3 Apply light finger pressure to ensure intim

12、ate contactof the preformed tape sealant with the panel.8.1.4 Remove the release paper from the test specimen.9. Conditioning9.1 Place the specimen in a horizontal position in a forced-draft oven and condition for 14 days at 70 6 2C (158 63.6F).9.2 Remove the test specimen from the oven and immedi-a

13、tely place it in a horizontal position in a freezer unitmaintained at 236 2C (10 6 3.6F) for 4 h.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 edition approved Dec.

Procedure10

16、.1 After the specimen and mandrel have been conditionedfor 4 h and while they are still in the freezer at 23 6 2C (106 3.6F), bend the test specimen 180 around the mandrel,with the aluminum panel next to the mandrel, using no morethan2stomake the bend.10.2 Visually examine the specimen for cracking
