Designation:D4586/D4586M07(Reapproved 2012)1Standard Specification forAsphalt Roof Cement,Asbestos-Free1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4586/D4586M;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in June 2012.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers asbestos-free asphalt roof ce-ment suitable for trowel application to roofings and flashings.1.2 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 non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,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:2D312 Specification for Asphalt Used in RoofingD449 Specification for Asphalt Used in Dampproofing andWaterproofingD946 Specification for Penetration-Graded Asphalt Cementfor Use in Pavement ConstructionD6511 Test Methods for Solvent Bearing Bituminous Com-pounds3.Classification3.1 Type IType I is made from asphalts characterized asself-healing,adhesive,and ductile,and conforming to therequirements of Specification D312,Type I;SpecificationD449,Types I or II;or Specification D946.3.1.1 Class I is used for application to essentially drysurfaces.3.1.2 Class II is used for application to damp,wet,orunderwater surfaces and dry surfaces.3.2 Type IIType II is made from asphalt characterized byhigh softening point and relatively low ductility,and conform-ing to the requirements of Specification D312,Types II or III;or Specification D449,Types II or III.3.2.1 Class I is used for application to essentially drysurfaces.3.2.2 Class II is used for application to damp,wet,orunderwater surfaces.4.Materials and Manufacture4.1 Asphalt roof cement shall consist of an asphalt base,volatile petroleum solvents,and mineral and/or other stabiliz-ers,excluding asbestos,mixed to a smooth,uniform consis-tency suitable for trowel application.5.Composition5.1 Asphalt roof cement complying with this specificationshall conform to the following composition limits:minmaxWater content,%.3.0Nonvolatile content,%70.Mineral and/or other stabilizers,%1540Bitumen(asphalt),%35656.Physical Requirements6.1 UniformityA thoroughly stirred sample shall show noseparation of solvent or settling that cannot be overcome bymoderate stirring after standing for 72 h at room temperature ina closed container.6.2 WorkabilityThe cement shall be of a consistency thatwill spread readily and permit troweling smooth coatings,2 to6 mm 116to14in.thick,on prepared roofing,saturated felt,and metal surfaces at ambient temperatures above 10C 50F.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 onRoofing and Waterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.05on Solvent-Bearing Bituminous Compounds for Roofing and Waterproofing.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published June 2012.Originallyapproved in 1986.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as D4586 07.DOI:10.1520/D4586_D4586M-07R12E01.2For 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 6.3 Behavior at 60C 140FThe cement shall show noevidence of blistering,and sag or slide shall be no greater than6 mm 14in.6.4 Pliability at 0C 32FThere shall be no cracking orseparation of the cement from the metal.7.Sampling7.1 See Sampling section of Test Methods D6511.8.Test Methods8.1 Determine composition and physical requirements byusing the procedures in Test Methods D6511.9.Precision and Bias9.1 See Precision and Bias section of Test Methods D6511.10.Inspection10.1 Inspection of the material shall be agreed upon by thepurchaser and the seller as part of the purchase contract.11.Rejection and Rehearing11.1 Failure to conform to any of the requirements pre-scribed in this specification shall constitute grounds for rejec-tion.In cases of rejection,the seller shall have the right toreinspect and resubmit the lot after removal of those packagesnot conforming to th
