Classification of Sealants4.1 A sealant qualifying under this specification shall beclassified by type and grade as follows:4.1
9、.1 Type OPAn opaque sealant containing color pig-ments or extender pigments, or both, that has no more than30 % volume shrinkage (see 10.1.3).4.1.2 Type CA clear or translucent sealant that has nomore than 50 % volume shrinkage (see 10.1.3).4.1.3 Grade 18CA sealant that meets the requirementsfor low
10、 temperature flexibility (see 7.1) when tested at 18C(0F).4.1.4 Grade 0CA sealant that meets the requirements forlow temperature flexibility (see 7.1) when tested at 0C (32F).4.1.5 Grade NFA sealant that does not meet the require-ments for low temperature flexibility of Grade 0C (see 4.1.4).5. Mater
11、ials and Manufacture5.1 The sealant shall be composed of latex formulated withappropriate fillers, pigments, and chemical additives to result inconformance to this specification.5.2 All material and workmanship shall be in accordancewith good commercial practice. The producer is permitted awide lati
12、tude in choice of raw materials for making theseproducts. Consequently, there is no implication that the com-pounds are equivalent in all physical properties.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C24 onBuilding Seals and Sealants and is the direct responsibility of Subcommi

15、urea homogeneous mix, free of defects that would affect service-ability, and provide a consistency suitable for immediateapplication.6. General Requirements6.1 The sealant in the original unopened container shallmeet the requirements of this specification for at least 12months from the date of manuf
16、acture when stored at atemperature neither below 5C (41F) nor exceeding 26.7C(80F).6.2 After 21 days cure at laboratory conditions controlled at23 6 2C (73 6 3.6F) and 50 6 10 % relative humidity, thecolor of the sealant shall be that color that has been agreedupon between the purchaser and the supp
17、lier.6.3 The sealant is intended for application to clean substratesurfaces only.7. Physical Properties7.1 The sealant shall conform to the physical requirementsspecified in Table 1 according to type and grade.8. Significance and Use8.1 This specification covers two types and three grades oflatex se
18、alants as described in Section 4 that are formulated forgeneral caulking and sealing operations in building construc-tion. It should be recognized by the user that not all sealantsmeeting this specification are suitable for all applications andall substrates. It is essential, therefore, that the typ
19、e and gradebe specified for proper description of a sealant. Test methodsrelate to special standard substrates of glass, wood and alumi-num. If tests are required using substrates in addition to orother than standard, they should be so specified for testing.8.2 Refer to Guide C 1193 for information
20、on the proper useof sealants meeting this specification.9. Sampling9.1 The sealant to be tested for conformance to this speci-fication shall be taken directly from a randomly selectedcontainer as commercially supplied by the manufacturer.10. Test Methods10.1 Perform all of the following tests at lab
21、oratory condi-tions controlled at 23 6 2C (73 6 3.6F) and 506 10 %relative humidity.
