ASTM D1854-96

Standard Specification for Jet-Fuel-Resistant Concrete Joint Sealer, Hot-Applied Elastic Type

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers a jet-fuel-resistant concrete joint sealer, of the hot-applied elastic type, intended for use in sealing joints in concrete pavement in areas exposed to jet fuel spillage. It may be found useful in industrial areas where similar conditions exist. (See Appendix).  
1.2 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. Specific precautionary statements are given in Appendix X1.
