Standard Specification for Precured Elastomeric Silicone Joint Sealants

Standard Details

1.1 Precured elastomeric silicone joint sealants, hereinafter referred to as seal, are manufactured in flat, cured, extruded shapes and are primarily used to span joint openings in construction. This specification describes the properties of applied, flat shaped precured elastomeric silicone joint sealants, hereinafter referred to as applied seal, that bridge joint openings and are adhered to joint substrates utilizing a liquid applied silicone adhesive sealant, specified by the manufacturer, hereinafter referred to as adhesive to construction substrates, to seal building openings such as panel joints, metal flashing joints, or other building openings in place of conventional liquid applied sealants.

1.2 Seals are applied in three different configurations:

1.2.1 As a bridge joint, the seal is applied flat on the surface to cover a joint opening. See Fig. 1.

1.3 This specification is for a flat extruded shape.

1.4 An applied seal meeting the requirements of this specification shall be designated by the manufacturer as to movement class and tear class as described in Section 5.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
