Designation:D5665/D5665M99a(Reapproved 2021)Standard Specification forThermoplastic Fabrics Used in Cold-Applied Roofing andWaterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5665/D5665M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers thermoplastic fabrics such aspolyester,polyester/polyamide bicomponent,or compositeswith fiberglass or polyester scrims that can be used during theconstruction of cold-applied roofing and waterproofing.1.2 This specification is intended as a material specification.Issues regarding the suitability of specific roof constructions orapplication techniques are beyond the scope of this specifica-tion.1.3 The specified tests and property values used to charac-terize the respective fabrics are intended to establish minimumproperties.In-place system design criteria or performanceattributes are factors beyond the scope of this material speci-fication.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD1117 Guide for Evaluating Nonwoven Fabrics(Withdrawn2009)3D1776/D1776M Practice for Conditioning and Testing Tex-tilesD1777 Test Method for Thickness of Textile MaterialsD4830/D4830M Test Methods for Characterizing Thermo-plastic Fabrics Used in Roofing and WaterproofingD5035 Test Method for Breaking Force and Elongation ofTextile Fabrics(Strip Method)D5733 Test Method for Tearing Strength of NonwovenFabrics by the Trapezoid Procedure(Withdrawn 2008)33.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in thisspecification,refer to Terminologies D123 and D1079.4.Classification4.1 The thermoplastic fabrics covered by this specificationare of the following general constructions and compositions.Each is a separate class or type differentiated by the polymertype,combination of polymers,manufacturing process,orsome combination thereof.4.1.1 Type IPolyester spunbonded without resin,un-needled;4.1.2 Type IIPolyester spunbonded without resin,needled;4.1.3 Type IIIPolyester mat plus fiber glass scrim withresin;4.1.4 Type IVPolyester core/polyamide sheath bicompo-nent spunbonded;4.1.5 Type VPolyester mat with polyester stitching;4.1.6 Type VIPolyester mat plus polyester scrim withresin;and4.1.7 Type VIIPolyester scrim fabric with resin.5.Materials and Manufacture5.1 The fabric shall be a uniform,thin,porous mat of theprimary thermoplastic polymer,with or without the addition ofreinforcing stranded glass or thermoplastic yarns.Chemically1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.04on Felts,Fabrics and Bituminous Sheet Materials.Current edition approved Nov.15,2021.Published November 2021.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D5665/D5665M 99a(2014)1.DOI:10.1520/D5665_D5665M-99AR21.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1?bonding with a water-resistant resin or thermally bonding withother thermoplastic polymers shall be permitted.6.Physical Properties,Thickness,and Mass6.1 Fabrics shall conform to the thickness,mass,andphysical properties presented in Table 1.7.Unit Mass7.1 Determine the unit mass of the fabric using the proce-dures described in Guide D1117.8.Workmanship,Finish,and Appearance8.1 The finished material shall be free of visible defectssuch as ragged or untrue edges,folds,c
