EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ANSI A 118.12 standard. This specification describes the testing and physical properties required for a membrane to be classified as meeting A118.12.
These membranes are designed to isolate tile and stone from small in-plane cracks in the substrate. This specification measures the ability of membranes to perform in this way.
Waterproofing and crack-proofing membranes are widely used in the tile industry as part of surface preparation before laying ceramic tiles or similar hard materials.
Membranes that provide crack sealing performance are intended to maintain their integrity during the movement of the substrate, thereby preventing tile cracking which minimizes costly repairs. Maintaining the integrity of these membranes is essential to guaranteeing the effectiveness and longevity of any tile project, making this an important consideration for industry and tile professionals.
The ANSI crack insulation test method is a large, heavy installation consisting of cement pavers, a membrane, tiles, and mortar mounted on steel plates.
Because the ANSI 118.12 tester is custom-designed, oversized, and requires large quantities of test material, testing is impractical for a typical laboratory. In fact, only a few laboratories in the country have testing capability on this scale. Next, the cost and size of this particular test equipment limits the number of tests that can be performed.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with ANSI A 118.12 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more effective, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.
