Significance and Use4.1 This guide provides information and guidelines for consideration by the designer or applicator of a joint seal. It explainsthe properties and functions of various materials, such as sealant, sealant ba
30、cking, and primer, among others; and, procedures suchas, substrate cleaning and priming, and installation of the components of a sealed joint. It presents guidelines for the use andapplication of the various materials, design of a sealant joint for a specific application, and environmental condition
31、s and effectsthat are known to detrimentally affect a sealant joint. The information and guidelines are also useful for those that supplyaccessories to the sealant industry and for those that install sealants and accessory materials associated with sealant use.C1193 1324.2 In addition to the design
32、and installation data in this guide, consult the sealant manufacturer about applications for itsproducts and their proper use and installation. Considering the range of properties of commercially available sealants, the varietyof joint designs possible, and the many conditions of use, the informatio
33、n contained herein is general in nature.4.3 It should be realized that a sealant and sealant joint are expected to have a design life during which they remain functional.However, a sealant and sealant joint will also have a service life. The intent is for service life to meet or exceed design life.
34、Thereare many factors that can affect service life including type of sealant polymer, sealant formulation, compatibility with adjacentmaterials, installation techniques or deficiencies, sealant joint design (or lack thereof), proper maintenance (or lack thereof), andenvironmental exposure, among oth
35、ers. The designer of a joint seal should take the above into consideration when designing andspecifying sealants for certain applications.4.4 The design life of a sealant or sealant joint should be considered in conjunction with the design life of the structure for whichit is used. For example, a bu
36、ilding owner may require a new courthouse building to have an expected design life of 50 years.Therefore, elements of the buildings exterior envelope should, with proper maintenance, be expected to perform for that timeperiod.As a result of the information in 4.3 it should be realized that a sealant
37、 or sealant joint may not perform for that time periodwithout proper maintenance. Proper maintenance could include replacement of localized sealant and sealant joint failures andconceivably complete sealant replacement, perhaps more than once, during that 50 year time period depending on a sealantsp
38、olymer base and its particular formulation. Sealant replacement needs to be considered and when needed should be easilyaccomplished.4.5 To assist the user of the guide in locating specific information, a detailed listing of guide numbered sections and theirdescriptors are included in Appendix X1.5.
39、General Considerations5.1 GeneralProper selection and use of a sealant is fundamental to its ultimate performance, service life, and durability. Asealant joint subjected to movement and other similar performance factors should be designed for the particular application toavoid compromising its perfo
40、rmance capability and causing failure (See 15). If not designed for the particular application, failureis a distinct probability. Equally important is the proper selection and use of other materials and products associated with sealantuse. These include substrate cleaner, surface conditioner or prim
41、er, type of sealant backing material, bond-breaker, and joint filler,among others. The ability of a sealant installation to remain weathertight is critically dependent on proper preparation, continuity,and durability of the substrates to which the sealant will adhere, and compatibility of the sealan
42、t with the materials it will contact,including the substrates. The proper application and installation of the various materials and products, following the establishedjoint design criteria, avoids premature deterioration of the sealant joint. For a sealant joint that is difficult or expensive to acc
43、ess(for example, tall buildings and certain roofs) a sealant should be selected that will have excellent environmental weatheringcharacteristics to minimize maintenance. The following sections describe joint design guidelines and the properties and use of asealant and its associated materials.5.2 Du
44、rabilityThe durability of a sealant and a sealant joint is related to many factors. For example, environmental exposureto solar radiation, ozone, heat-aging, and atmospheric contaminants can lessen sealant durability. Inadequate constructiontolerances and improper sealant joint design for movement a
45、nd other effects can contribute to sealant joint failure, which is usuallyexpressed as adhesive or cohesive failure of the sealant. Inadequate installation (for example, where the sealant profile isinappropriate for movement, where substrates have not been properly cleaned and, if required, primed,
46、and the sealant inadequatelytooled, among others) is a common cause of failure. Conditions of exposure and design (where, for example, a sealant joint isexposed to constant wetting or to pedestrian or other traffic) can lessen sealant and sealant joint durability. The type of sealant, itsprimary pol
47、ymer backbone, and the particular sealant formulation can also contribute to lessened durability, especially if a sealantis used in an application, or under conditions of use, not appropriate for it. Frequently, various combinations of environmentalexposure and conditions of use occur which can resu
48、lt in lessened durability. For example, depending on sealant type, jointmovement combined with heat aging and cold weather exposure or joint movement combined with heat aging and moisture canresult in failure. To enhance durability, it is important that the sealant type is matched to the conditions
49、of use and exposure andthat the sealant joint is of proper design for those conditions of use and exposure. In any event, eventual replacement of a sealantthat has reached its durability limit must be planned for in the initial design and installation to facilitate future remedial work.5.2.1 Durability TestingPresently, testing for sealant durability consists of exposing small-scale sealant samples to conditionsintended to simulate the effects of movements (as in Practice C719), and to artificial weathering by actinic radiation, moisture, andheat, without cycling movement,
