5 Requirements
5.1 Substrates
The standard concrete substrate is mandatory. Other substrates may be used upon agreement if the substrate is recommended for the ceramic tile application by the adhesive manufacturer.
5.1.1 Exterior Glue Plywood
The exterior glue plywood substrate shall conform to the requirements for exterior plywood1). Test substrate must be at least 18,25 mm (23/32 of an inch) in thickness and must be selected from the Group 1 wood species with a wood veneer quality of“C-C plugged” or better and have no visible flaws in the“C-plugged” test area. Plywood with at least one C plugged side as the test surface is preferred2).
5.1.2 Other Substrates
To demonstrate compatibility with other optional substrates, the adhesive shall be applied to the
selected substrate in accordance with the Tensile Adhesion Strength Method (ISO 13007-2:2010, 4.4.4.2).
When the result of >0,5 N/mm2 is achieved or cohesive failure occurs in the substrate, the requirement
is considered satisfied.
5.2 Specifications for Cementitious Adhesives (C)
Cementitious Adhesives shall comply with all of the C1 Fundamental Characteristics reported in
Table 2. The amount of water and/or liquid admix required for preparing the cementitious adhesive must be the same for all tests. The additional characteristics for C2 (improved performance) products are also contained in Table 2. Table 3 reports the Special Characteristics that can be reported for cementitious adhesives.
5.3 Specifications for Dispersion Adhesives (D)
All Dispersion Adhesives shall comply with the D1 Fundamental Characteristics reported in Table 4.
The Additional characteristics for D2 (improved performance) products are also contained in Table 4.
Table 5 reports the Special Characteristics that can be reported for dispersion adhesives.
5.4 Specifications for Reaction Resin Adhesives (R)
All reaction resin adhesives shall comply with the R1 fundamental characteristics reported in Table 6.
The additional characteristics for R2 (improved performance) products are also contained in Table 6.
Table Z reports the Special Characteristics that can be reported for reaction resin adhesives.
Regarding the characteristic of chemical resistance, there is no indication of limit value or chemical agent. When specific chemical resistance data are required for a project, testing shall conform to (ISO 13007-2:2010, 4.6, Determination of Chemical Resistance) with chemical concentrations and immersion temperatures chosen to simulate exposure conditions. The test media shall consist of media to which the chemical resistant materials are to be exposed in service and the test conditions (temperature, etc.) shall simulate the anticipated service and exposure conditions as closely as possible.AS ISO 13007.1 pdf download.
