Standard Practice for Accelerated Heat Aging for Floor Covering Adhesives

Importancia y uso:

4.1 The final appearance of an installed floor depends upon several factors. These include but are not limited to the manufacture of the flooring material, the preparation of the subfloor and the skill of the installer. This practice is used to measure the ability of the adhesive to retain its original physical properties and adhesion following exposure to heat simulating a long service life at reasonable and expected temperatures.

4.2 In selecting or developing a carpet or resilient flooring or other adhesive, it is critical to have knowledge regarding how well the adhesive will bond to the substrate and to the flooring material.

4.3 Heat accelerated aging is necessary to establish the stability of the adhesive as it concerns storage/shelf life including viscosity (Test Method D1084) while remaining in an unopen container for prolonged periods.

4.4 In determining the applicable physical properties for shear strength (Test Method D6004) and peel strength (Test Method D6862) for the determination of dimensional stability of the assembled flooring material.
