Designation:D6223/D6223M21Standard Specification forAtactic Polypropylene(APP)Modified Bituminous SheetMaterials Using a Combination of Polyester and Glass FiberReinforcements1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6223/D6223M;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 prefabricated modified bitumi-nous sheet materials reinforced with a combination of polyesterfabric and glass fiber,with or without granules,that use atacticpolypropylene(APP)as the primary modifier and are intendedfor use in the fabrication of multiple ply roofing and water-proofing membranes.1.2 This specification is intended as a material specificationonly.Issues regarding the suitability of specific roof construc-tions or application techniques are beyond the scope of thisspecification.1.3 The specified tests and property limits used to charac-terize the sheet materials covered by this specification areintended to establish minimum properties.In-place roof systemdesign criteria such as fire resistance,field strength,impact/puncture resistance,material compatibility,uplift resistance,the need for field applied coatings,and others,are factorsbeyond the scope of this material specification.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 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 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:2D1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and WaterproofingD5147/D5147M Test Methods for Sampling and TestingModified Bituminous Sheet MaterialD5636/D5636M Test Method for Low Temperature Unroll-ing of Felt or Sheet Roofing and Waterproofing Materials3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this specification,referto Terminology D1079.4.Classification4.1 Type I and II modified bituminous sheet materialsreinforced with a combination of polyester fabric and glassfiber reinforcements are covered by this specification(seeTable 1).4.2 The following grades are used to describe the materialsurfacing:4.2.1 Grade GGranule surfacing.4.2.2 Grade SSmooth surfacing.5.Material and Manufacture5.1 In the process of manufacture,the reinforcement issaturated with APP-modified asphalt and is impregnated andcoated on both sides with an APP-modified bituminous coat-ing.The APP-modified bituminous coating shall be permittedto be compounded with a mineral stabilizer.5.2 Grade G materials are surfaced on the weather side withmineral granules,except for any selvage.To prevent sticking inthe roll,the reverse side and any selvage shall be permitted to1This 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 Dec.1,2021.Published December 2021.Originallyapproved in 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as D6223/D6223M 16.DOI:10.1520/D6223_D6223M-21.2For 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 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?be covered with a fine mineral surfacing or any other surfacingthat will not interfere with adhesion or bonding of the lapduring application.5.3 To prevent sticking in the roll,any selvage will besurfaced with mineral or other surfacing material which willnot interfere with adhesion or bonding during application.6.Physical Properties6.1 The sheet shall conform t
