EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 28340 testing. This standard covers a method for determining the tensile properties of gelants used at joints in building construction in case of continuous expansion.
The test specimens are prepared in such a way that the sealant to be tested adheres to two parallel contact surfaces. Test specimens are stretched to a defined width and this extension is maintained under defined conditions. Any loss of adhesion or cohesion is recorded.
Substrate materials will be selected from mortar or anodized aluminum or glass. Other substrate materials may be used as agreed by the parties concerned.
The sealant manufacturer's instructions regarding, for example, whether to use a primer and the mixing procedure for multi-component sealants should be followed. The hollow volume created by the substrates and spacers will be filled with sealant.
