ASTM C836-00
(Specification)Standard Specification for High Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane for Use with Separate Wearing Course
Standard Specification for High Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane for Use with Separate Wearing Course
SCOPE
1.1 This specification describes the required properties and test methods for a cold liquid-applied elastomeric-type membrane, one or two component, for waterproofing building decks subject to hydrostatic pressure in building areas to be occupied by personnel, vehicles, or equipment. This specification applies only to a membrane system above which a separate wearing or traffic course will be applied.
Note 1--See Guide C898 for proper application of membrane.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 6, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 There are no ISO standards similar or equivalent to this ASTM standard.
