1、Designation: C 1518 04 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Specification forPrecured Elastomeric Silicone Joint Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1518; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 Precured elastomeric silicone joint sealants, hereinafterreferred to as seal, are manufactured in flat, cured, extrude
3、dshapes and are primarily used to span joint openings inconstruction. This specification describes the properties ofapplied, flat shaped precured elastomeric silicone joint seal-ants, hereinafter referred to as applied seal, that bridge jointopenings and are adhered to joint substrates utilizing a l
4、iquidapplied silicone adhesive sealant, specified by the manufac-turer, hereinafter referred to as adhesive to construction sub-strates, to seal building openings such as panel joints, metalflashing joints, or other building openings in place of conven-tional liquid applied sealants.1.2 Seals are ap
5、plied in three different configurations:1.2.1 As a bridge joint, the seal is applied flat on the surfaceto cover a joint opening. See Fig. 1.1.2.2 As a beveled bridge joint, the seal is applied on thebeveled edge of a substrate to bridge a joint opening. See Fig.2.1.2.3 As a U-joint, the seal is app
6、lied in a U-configurationwithin a joint. See Fig. 3.1.3 This specification is for a flat extruded shape. A three-dimensional shape used at a joint cross section or terminationis being considered for future inclusion in the specification.1.4 An applied seal meeting the requirements of this speci-fica
7、tion shall be designated by the manufacturer as to move-ment class and tear class as described in Section 5.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

Significance and Use4.1 This specification describes several classifications ofapplied seals as described in Section 5. The purchaser or designprofessional shall recognize that not all materi
11、als meeting thisspecification are suitable for all applications and substrates. Itis essential, therefore, that the proper classification of the sealsystem is provided for the intended use. The test methods inthis specification relate to elastomeric performance, adhesion1This specification is under

Thestandard substrate for qualification to this specification isportland cement mortar. The standard joint configurati
15、on forqualification to this specification is the bridge joint configura-tion as shown in Fig. 1. Users are advised to have adhesiontests performed in the field on the actual substrate to determineadhesion performance.NOTE 1Other joint configurations such as beveled bridge joint appli-cation and/or U

Classification5.1 Movement ClassA seal qualifying under this specifi-cation shall be classified for movement capability as follows.5.1.1 Movement Class XAn applied seal that when testedfor movement as described in Test Method C 1523 (9.1) aftersubjecting joint specimens
18、 to each of the following: three jointspecimens to frozen temperature conditioning as described inTest Method C 1523 (8.2.3) for 24 h; three joint specimens toheat conditioning as described in Test Method C 1523 (8.2.4)for 24 h; and three joint specimens to artificial weathering inaccordance with Pr
19、actice C 1442 as described in Test MethodC 1523 (8.2.5) for a minimum of 2500 h. The exposureduration shall be sufficient to produce a statistically significantchange of the property evaluated in a material known to givepoor performance when used in the application of interest.After each type of con
20、ditioning, the specimen shall withstanda strain and the holding time at that strain for one hour to X %elongation, where X is 12.5 % or greater, in increments of12.5 % to max 200 %. (Test Method C 1523, 9.1)5.1.2 Immediately following 5.1.1 the same specimen shallwithstand 10 movement cycles of X %
