1、Designation: D 2203 01 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Method forStaining from Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2203; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number
2、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 covers a laboratory procedure fordetermining whether a sample of sealant will cause staining ofthe substrate when in the con
3、tact with masonry, concrete, orstone (marble, limestone, sandstone, granite, etc.).1.2 The values stated in SI (metric) units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are providedfor information only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, i
4、f 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.NOTE 1Currently there is no ISO standard similar to this test method.2.

6、ubstrate.4. Significance and Use4.1 Staining of a building is an aesthetically undesirableoccurrence. This test method evaluates the likelihood of asealant causing an early stain on a porous substrate, when thestain is caused by gross exudation from the sealant. This testmethod does not predict stai

9、sly unopenedcontainer and thoroughly mix before using, if required forhomogeneity.7. Conditioning7.1 Condition the sample in a closed container for at least 5hat236 2C (73.4 6 3.6F).8. Procedure8.1 Dry the filter papers for 5 to8hinanoven maintainedat 104.5 6 3C (220 6 5.4F).At the end of the drying
10、 period,remove from the oven and store in a desiccator until cool.8.2 Remove ten filter papers from the desiccator, staplethem together, and place them on a glass plate. Set the brassring with beveled edge down on the center of the filter papers.Fill the ring flush with thoroughly mixed sealant, tak
11、ing care toincorporate as little air as possible with the compound. Place a25.4-mm (1-in.) square piece of aluminum foil on top of thering, and the 300-g weight on top of that.8.3 Allow the filled ring to stand for 72 h at 23 6 2C (73.46 3.6F). Then slide a spatula under the brass ring and removethe
12、 ring and compound. Hold the top filter paper up to the lightwith a glass plate under it and, with a sharp pencil, mark themaximum and minimum diameters of the stain.

Record the number of papers,including the first one, showing any evidence of staining asnumber of papers stained.8.5 Report the sum of width of stain and number of papersstained as the stain index.9. Alternative Procedure9
17、.1 If the sample or compound to be tested is accompaniedby a sample block of masonry (brick, marble, limestone, etc.)on which it is to be used, the standard procedure shall bewaived and the following alternative test used in its place:9.1.1 Dry duplicate specimens of the masonry sample (89by 89 by 1
18、9 mm (312 by 312 by34 in.) in an oven at 104.5 63C (220 6 5.4F) for 24 h and cool to room temperature.9.1.2 Place a round pat of the material to be tested, 38 mm(112 in.) in diameter, and about 6.5 mm (14 in.) high on thesurface of each block. Expose the blocks in air for 5 days at 236 2C (73.4 6 3.
19、6F). At the end of this period measure andrecord the width of the stain (if any) in 0.1 mm. Take fourreadings at 90 points around each pat. Record the average ofthe eight readings and designate this value as S.9.1.3 Remove the pat with a putty knife and break the blockin two, approximately through t
20、he middle of the sealed area, bya sharp blow with a small hammer. Measure and record thedepth of penetration of the stain into the block, taking threereadings on each broken piece, two at the ends and one in themiddle of the stained surface. Record the average of the twelvereadings and designate thi
21、s value as T.9.1.4 The average of the two values, designated as S and T,shall be considered as the final stain value for the alternativeprocedure.10. Report10.1 Standard ProcedureReport the following informa-tion:10.1.1 Width of stain,10.1.2 Number of papers stained, and10.1.3 Stain index.10.2 Alter
22、native ProcedureReport the following informa-tion:10.2.1 Average stain value on surface of each block, desig-nated as S,10.2.2 Average stain value inside of each block, designatedas T, and10.2.3 Final stain value (average of S and T).11. Precision and Bias411.1 PrecisionThe precision calculations fo
23、r this testmethod are based on the stain index results of five laboratoriestesting two oil-based materials in triplicate in accordance withthe procedure given in Section 8. The results are given in Table1.11.1.1 Round robin data was generated by testing eachsealant specimen three times, whereas the
24、procedure in this testmethod specifies only one test. Single specimen testing mayyield more variable results than indicated in Table 1.11.1.2 Committee C-24 is actively pursuing the develop-ment of data for this test method when used for other types ofsealants.11.2 BiasSince there is no accepted ref
25、erence materialsuitable for determining the bias for this test method forstaining, bias has not been determined.12.
