ASTM C557 Tests

The ASTM C557 wall panel wood framing specification adhesive test covers the minimum performance standards and specifications for adhesives designed to bond the backing paper of gypsum wall paneling to wood frame members. Test requirements and test methods for the adhesive used for the application of gypsum wall boards of all thicknesses are also specified in ASTM C557. The ASTM C557 specification provides a basis for assuring the quality of adhesives. A compression shear test, tensile test, gap-filling or bridging properties test, freeze-thaw stability test, and accelerated adhesive aging should be performed on ASTM C557 approved adhesive. ASTM C557 tests are suitable for product performance certification and quality control programs and are suitable for the general public, adhesive manufacturers, distributors, specifiers.
