ASTM D6152-99
(Specification)Standard Specification for SEBS-Modified Mopping Asphalt Used in Roofing
Standard Specification for SEBS-Modified Mopping Asphalt Used in Roofing
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene)-modified asphalt intended for use in built-up roof construction, construction of some modified bitumen systems, construction of bituminous vapor retarder systems, and for adhering insulation boards used in various types of roof systems.
1.2 This standard is intended as a material specification. Issues regarding the suitability of specific roof constructions or application techniques are beyond its scope.
1.3 The specified tests and property values used to characterize SEBS-modified asphalt are intended to establish minimum properties. In place system design criteria or performance attributes are factors beyond the scope of this specification.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 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.
