ASTM C1382-16

Standard Test Method for Determining Tensile Adhesion Properties of Sealants When Used in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) Joints

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 EIFS are barrier-type systems that must be weatherproofed to prevent the passage of moisture, air, dust, heat, and cold from entering a structure.  
5.2 This test method is intended to determine the adhesion properties of the sealant with the EIFS substrate as determined by its tensile adhesive properties for dry, wet, frozen, heat-aged, and artificial weather-aged conditions.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes a laboratory procedure for measuring tensile adhesion properties of sealants to exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) under dry, wet, frozen, heat-aged, and artificial weather-aged conditions.  
1.2 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is not aware of any comparable standards published by other organizations.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound values given in parentheses are provided for information only.  
1.4 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.

4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 This test method is a modification of Test Method C1135. Preliminary testing using Test Method C794 may be helpful as
a screen test to determine dry adhesion capabilities and priming requirements before proceeding with this test. This test is
performed after the specimen assemblies are subjected to a variety of conditions that artificially accelerate the effect of weathering
impact on the sealant-to-EIFS bond. The conditioning employed in this test does not necessarily address all field conditions.
