The total of bleeding or delamination, covering morethan 2 % of the sample area, shall be cause for rejection.7.2.6.2 PliabilitySpecimens tested in accordance with thetest procedure
22、 in 10.2 shall not show cracking or delamination.This test does not apply to materials that are not flexible andnot intended to be bent or flexed.7.2.7 Mold and Mildew Fungal resistance of sheet radiantbarriers shall be tested in accordance with Test Method C1338.The samples are then examined visual
23、ly under 53 magnifica-tion for the extent of mold growth and for indications ofdeterioration. Evidence of mold growth beyond the inoculationarea shall be cause for rejection.8. Significance and Use8.1 This specification recognizes that the effectiveness of asheet radiant barrier is dependent on prop
24、er installation.Practice C1158 addresses use and installation of radiant barri-ers.8.2 This specification identifies the material properties thatare important for sheet radiant barrier products. When appro-priate, values for the properties have been stated.8.3 The user should consult the manufacture
25、r about specificmaterial properties needed for a particular application.8.4 Radiant barriers shall be free of dust or other contami-nants to remain effective.9. Sampling9.1 Sampling shall be performed in accordance with Prac-tice C390.10. Test Methods for Adhesive Performance10.1 Bleeding and Delami
26、nation:10.1.1 ScopeThis test method covers the determination ofbleeding and delamination of sheet radiant barriers.10.1.2 Significance and UseIt is necessary that sheetradiant barriers not show adhesive bleeding or delaminationsince these conditions could result in a loss of structuralintegrity, a c
27、hange in water vapor permeability, or an increasein surface emittance.10.1.3 SamplingA minimum of three specimens of theradiant barrier material with dimensions of approximately 7.6by 15.2 cm 3 by 6 in. will be tested. The test specimens shallbe cut from separate locations on the roll or panel of th

Estimate thepercentage of the area that has delaminated.10.1.5 Precision and BiasPrecision and bias have notbeen determined for this qualitative test.10.2 Pliability:10.2.1 ScopeThis test method covers the determination ofcracking or delamination of the radiant barrier due to folding orbending.
30、 Any radiant barrier product that is not subject tobending during installation shall be exempt from the require-ments in 10.2.10.2.2 Significance and UseIt is necessary that sheetradiant barriers not crack or delaminate as a result of normalinstallation practice since this could result in loss of st
