The importance of testing flexible sealants and joint compounds
Flexible sealants and joint sealants play a crucial role in building and construction projects. They ensure that joints are tight, protect against moisture ingress and maintain the durability of the building over time. The consequences of using a joint sealant with the wrong properties can be enormously costly.
Purpose
The importance of testing flexible sealants and joint compounds
By carrying out standardized tests, the performance of the sealant can be assessed and it can be ensured that it can withstand stresses such as temperature variations, mechanical loads and environmental influences.
Without tests, there is a risk of cracking, weakened adhesion and, in the worst case, leakage that can cause damage to the building. Common test methods include creep and elasticity tests as well as determination of adhesion and durability over time.
By following international standards, such as ISO 11600, it can be ensured that the sealant meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Method
With a wide range of equipment and several years of expertise, we can perform a variety of testing methods, all depending on the customer's needs, both standardized and specially developed methods for damage investigations.
