ASTM D6325-1998(2004) Test Method for Determining Open Assembly Time of Carpet Mastic Adhesives《测定地毯胶合铺料粘合剂的开放装配时间的试验方法》.pdf

1、Designation: D 6325 98 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forDetermining Open Assembly Time of Carpet MasticAdhesives1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6325; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, th

2、e year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a procedure to measure openassembly time for a troweled carpet adhesive.1.2 This

3、 test method provides an evaluation of the ability ofan adhesive to effectively wet out the intended carpet backing.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all o

4、f thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Many of the terms in this test method are defined inTerminology D 907.4. Significance and Use4.1 The ability to have a sufficient open assembly ti

6、me iscritical when bonding a carpet. An adhesive with too short anopen assembly time will not allow the installer enough time toposition the carpet before the adhesive is dried beyond use. Aproduct with too long an open assembly time will not provideenough dry time for the carpet to bond to the inte

7、nded substratewithout movement of the carpet.4.2 The test method provides a means of measuring theopen assembly time for an adhesive. Use of such a test methodcan aid both the manufacturer to develop and the user to selectthe appropriate adhesive for the installation of carpet.4.3 Test Method C 679

(51 mm) in diameter.5.3 Chronometer.6. Materials6.1 AdhesiveAny appropriate adhesive used to installcarpet.6.2 Polyethyle

9、neLow density (LDPE) with a 0.006 in.(0.15 mm) thickness.6.3 Glass, 12 in. by 12 in.7. Conditioning7.1 Condition the LDPE, glass, and adhesive to be tested 24h prior to testing at 73.4 6 3.6F (23 6 2C) and 50 6 5%relative humidity according to Practice D 618.8. Sample Preparation8.1 Cut the LDPE int

10、o twenty 2 in. (50.8 mm) by 2 in. (50.8mm) pieces.9. Procedure9.1 Hold the trowel at a 45 angle and spread enoughadhesive to cover the entire glass surface. Start the chronom-eter.9.2 Place an LDPE square on the adhesive taking care not toput unnecessary pressure on it.9.3 Apply the 1-kg weight on t

11、he LDPE for 10 s.9.4 Grasp one end of the LDPE square and slowly peelaway (at a 90 degree angle) the LDPE within 5 s. Record thepercentage of the adhesive transferred to the LDPE.9.5 Every 5 min. after the adhesive was originally troweled,repeat steps 9.2-9.4 using a new LDPE square on a section ofa

12、dhesive not previously tested or bonded.9.6 Continue the testing until you have no adhesive transfer.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D14 onAdhesives and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D14.70 on ConstructionAdhesives.Current edition approved April 1, 2004.
