1、Designation: D2559 10aStandard Specification forAdhesives for Bonded Structural Wood Products for UseUnder Exterior Exposure Conditions1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2559; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case o
2、f revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThis specific
3、ation, which was initially approved in 1966, was developed to ensure that adhesivesdeveloped and used in structural glued laminated timber (glulam) are considered suitable for theintended application. This would include, as a maximum level of severity in the case of moistureeffects, full and continu
4、ous exposure to the weather in a salt water marine environment.The use of adhesives for structural wood products (that is, Engineered Wood Products) hasexpanded beyond Glulam to include products such as Structural Composite Lumber, wood I-Joists andvarious composites adhesively bonded using a variet
5、y of materials. Although most structural gluedwood products have traditionally specified an adhesive suitable for exterior exposure, the actualexposure of glued wood products to exterior conditions may range from exposure to the weather forbrief periods of time, to continuous exposure to a marine en
6、vironment. The wide range of possibleexterior exposures of the adhesively bonded structural wood product requires consideration ofdiffering performance requirements for the adhesive.A distinction between adhesive certification and product performance requirements is necessary toensure the broadest p
7、ossible acceptance of adhesive systems to the engineered wood products industry.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers adhesives suitable for thebonding of wood, including treated wood, into structural woodproducts for general construction or other uses where ahigh-strength, durable adhesive bond is
8、 required.1.2 This specification includes test methods that may bereferenced by specific product standards for the evaluation andapproval of structural wood adhesives. Methods are included toevaluate adhesives intended for use in exterior exposure, whichare characterized and defined by two distinct
9、service classes asdescribed in 1.3.NOTE 1Consult the Commentary inAppendix X1 regarding the intentand limitations of each test method contained in this specification.1.3 Description of Bondline PerformanceIt is recognizedthat structural wood adhesives are used in various applicationsand under variou
10、s levels of severity in terms of moisturecontent, loading, cyclic and seasonal weather conditions, heatexposure and other use conditions. It is the intent of thisstandard to determine the suitability of an adhesive for useunder various levels of severity and conditions of use inaccordance with speci
11、fic and appropriate test methods andrequirements. For use in this standard, structural wood adhe-sives are separated into two classes described in terms ofconditions of use, and severity of environmental exposureincluding the amount of moisture.NOTE 2This standard does not contain specific tests out
12、lined fordifferent chemical types of adhesives.1.3.1 Description of Adhesive Service Class AThis ser-vice class is characterized by its limited exposure to theweather, including low moisture content conditions and issometimes referred to as a Protected Service or LimitedMoisture Exposure environment
13、. In this service class, exposureof adhesive bondlines in structural wood products to exteriorenvironment is limited to those such as during transportation,construction and accidental exposure where the material maybe subjected to a limited number of cycles of short-termwetting and drying.1.3.2 Desc
