Designation:D646599(Reapproved 2012)Standard Guide forSelecting Aerospace and General Purpose Adhesives andSealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6465;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide is intended to assist design engineers,manufacturing/industrial engineers,and production managersin selecting the best-fit adhesive/sealant or bonding/sealingprocess.The guide takes into account environmental pollutionprevention and occupational health and safety factors in aselection process.1.2 This guide is not to be considered as a database ofacceptable materials.It will guide the engineers and managersthrough the adhesive/sealant material selection process,callingfor engineers to customize their selection based on the bondingor sealing performance requirements for the specified applica-tion.A comprehensive selection process will allow for theestablishment of a more efficient production process,and mayeliminate unnecessary process steps.A total life cycle costanalysis or performance/cost of implementation study is rec-ommended to compare the available alternatives.1.3 This guide is for aerospace and general purpose opera-tions.It is not intended to be used for automotive,carpet,construction,electronics,medical/dental,optical,or structuraland nonstructural wood applications.Note that this guide is notspecifically for these applications,but the general methodologymay be used in the selection process for these applications.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D56 Test Method for Flash Point by Tag Closed Cup TesterD896 Practice for Resistance of Adhesive Bonds to Chemi-cal ReagentsD897 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Adhesive BondsD903 Test Method for Peel or Stripping Strength of Adhe-sive BondsD905 Test Method for Strength Properties of AdhesiveBonds in Shear by Compression LoadingD907 Terminology of AdhesivesD950 Test Method for Impact Strength of Adhesive BondsD1002 Test Method for Apparent Shear Strength of Single-Lap-Joint Adhesively Bonded Metal Specimens by Ten-sion Loading(Metal-to-Metal)D1062 Test Method for Cleavage Strength of Metal-to-Metal Adhesive BondsD1084 Test Methods for Viscosity of AdhesivesD1144 Practice for Determining Strength Development ofAdhesive BondsD1146 Test Method for Blocking Point of Potentially Adhe-sive LayersD1151 Practice for Effect of Moisture and Temperature onAdhesive BondsD1183 Practices for Resistance of Adhesives to CyclicLaboratory Aging ConditionsD1184 Test Method for Flexural Strength of AdhesiveBonded Laminated AssembliesD1310 Test Method for Flash Point and Fire Point of Liquidsby Tag Open-Cup ApparatusD1337 Practice for Storage Life of Adhesives by Viscosityand Bond StrengthD1338 Practice for Working Life of Liquid or Paste Adhe-sives by Consistency and Bond StrengthD1780 Practice for Conducting Creep Tests of Metal-to-Metal AdhesivesD1781 Test Method for Climbing Drum Peel for AdhesivesD1828 Practice for Atmospheric Exposure of Adhesive-Bonded Joints and StructuresD1875 Test Method for Density of Adhesives in Fluid FormD1876 Test Method for Peel Resistance of Adhesives(T-Peel Test)D1879 Practice for Exposure of Adhesive Specimens toIonizing Radiation1This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D14 on Adhesives andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D14.60 on Adhesive Material Classi-fication System.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published May 2012.Originallyapproved in 1999.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as D6465 99(2005).DOI:10.1520/D6465-99R12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D1916 Test Method for Penetration of Adhesives(With-drawn 2005)3D1994 Test Method for Determination of Acid Numbers ofHot-Melt AdhesivesD1995 Test Methods for Multi-Modal Strength Testing ofAutohesives(Contact Adhesives)D2093 Practice for Preparation of Surfaces of Plastics Priorto Adhesive BondingD2095 Test Method for Tensile Strength of Adhesives byMeans of Bar and Rod SpecimensD2240 Test Method for Rubber PropertyDurometer Hard-nessD2293 Test Method for Creep Properties of Adhesives inShear by Compression Loading(Metal-to-Metal)D2294 Test Method for Creep Properties of Adhesiv
