Designation:D5019 07aStandard Specification forReinforced CSM(Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene)SheetUsed in Single-Ply Roof Membrane1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5019;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 specification covers reinforced non-vulcanizedpolymeric sheet made from chlorosulfonated polyethylene(CSM)(see Note 1)intended for use as a single-ply roofmembrane exposed to the weather.The sheet shall be rein-forced with fiber or fabric.NOTE1The term CSPE for chlorosulfonated polyethylene is com-monly used in the roofing industry.1.1.1 The polymers used in these sheets have thermoplasticcharacteristics at time of installation.The chlorosulfonatedpolyethylene will vulcanize in place under ambient conditions.1.2 The tests and property limits used to characterize thesesheets are minimum values.1.2.1 In-place roof systems design criteria such as fireresistance,field seaming strength,impact/puncture resistance,material compatibility,and uplift resistance,among others,arefactors that must be considered,but are beyond the scope ofthis specification.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains to the testmethods portion only,Section 8,of this specification:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D412 Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermo-plastic ElastomersTensionD413 Test Methods for Rubber PropertyAdhesion toFlexible SubstrateD471 Test Method for Rubber PropertyEffect of LiquidsD518 Test Method for Rubber DeteriorationSurfaceCracking3D751 Test Methods for Coated FabricsD1004 Test Method for Tear Resistance(Graves Tear)ofPlastic Film and SheetingD1149 Test Methods for Rubber DeteriorationCrackingin an Ozone Controlled EnvironmentD1204 Test Method for Linear Dimensional Changes ofNonrigid Thermoplastic Sheeting or Film at ElevatedTemperatureD2136 Test Method for Coated FabricsLow-TemperatureBend TestG151 Practice for Exposing Nonmetallic Materials in Ac-celerated Test Devices that Use Laboratory Light SourcesG155 Practice for Operating XenonArc LightApparatus forExposure of Non-Metallic Materials3.Classification3.1 The following type is used to identify the principalpolymeric component of the coating portion of the sheet:3.1.1 Type IChlorosulfonated polyethylene(CSM).3.2 The following grades describe the sheet construction:3.2.1 Grade 1Backed with fibers,and3.2.2 Grade 2Internally reinforced with fabric.3.3 A general description of reinforcing including the typeof fiber used and the weight per unit area of the reinforcing orbacking material shall be provided,upon request.4.Materials and Manufacture4.1 The coating shall be formulated from CSM and othercompounding ingredients.The CSM used in the coating shallbe a minimum of 90%in relation to the total polymer present.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.18on Nonbituminous Organic Roof Coverings.Current edition approved Nov.1,2007.Published December 2007.Originallyapproved in 1989.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as D5019 07.DOI:10.1520/D5019-07A.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.3Withdrawn.The last approved version of this historical standard is referencedon www.astm.org.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.NOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest information4.2 The sheet shall be capable of being bonded to itself tomake watertight field splices and repairs.The manufacturer orsupplier shall recommend bonding methods and materials.5.Physical Properties5.1 Table 1 contains physical property requirements thatshall be met when using the indicated class of reinforcement.(The values shown were obtained from sheets made withcoatings having the properties described in Table 2.)5.2 Table 2 contains property values for the coating portionon the weather side of the sheet.(When requested,themanufacturer shall provide a sample of the coating used on theweathering side of the supplied sheet at the thi
