Designation:C119316Standard Guide forUse of Joint Sealants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1193;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 describes the use of a cold liquid-appliedsealant for joint sealing applications.Including joints onbuildings and related adjacent areas,such as plazas,decks,andpavements for vehicular or pedestrian use,and types ofconstruction other than highways and airfield pavements andbridges.Information in this guide is primarily applicable to asingle and multi-component,cold liquid-applied joint sealantand secondarily to a precured sealant when used with aproperly prepared joint opening and substrate surfaces.1.2 An elastomeric or non-elastomeric sealant described bythis guide should meet the requirements of Specification C834,C920,or C1311.1.3 This guide does not provide information or guidelinesfor the use of a sealant in a structural sealant glazing applica-tion.Guide C1401 should be consulted for this information.Additionally,it also does not provide information or guidelinesfor the use of a sealant in an insulating glass unit edge seal usedin a structural sealant glazing application.Guide C1249 shouldbe consulted for this information.1.4 Practice C919 should be consulted for information andguidelines for the use of a sealant in an application where anacoustic joint seal is required.1.5 This guide also does not provide information relative tothe numerous types of sealant that are available nor specificgeneric sealant properties,such as hardness,tack-free time,orcuring process,among others.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parenthesis are provided forinformation only.1.7 The Committee with jurisdiction for this standard is notaware of any comparable standards published by other orga-nizations.1.8 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.1.9 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is notaware of any comparable standards published by other orga-nizations.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C510 Test Method for Staining and Color Change of Single-or Multicomponent Joint SealantsC603 Test Method for Extrusion Rate and Application Lifeof Elastomeric SealantsC661 Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Elastomeric-Type Sealants by Means of a DurometerC711 Test Method for Low-Temperature Flexibility andTenacity of One-Part,Elastomeric,Solvent-Release TypeSealantsC717 Terminology of Building Seals and SealantsC719 Test Method for Adhesion and Cohesion of Elasto-meric Joint Sealants Under Cyclic Movement(HockmanCycle)C731 Test Method for Extrudability,After Package Aging,of Latex SealantsC732 Test Method forAging Effects ofArtificial Weatheringon Latex SealantsC734 Test Method for Low-Temperature Flexibility of LatexSealants After Artificial WeatheringC792 Test Method for Effects of HeatAging on Weight Loss,Cracking,and Chalking of Elastomeric SealantsC793 Test Method for Effects of Laboratory AcceleratedWeathering on Elastomeric Joint SealantsC794 Test Method forAdhesion-in-Peel of Elastomeric JointSealantsC834 Specification for Latex SealantsC919 Practice for Use of Sealants inAcousticalApplicationsC920 Specification for Elastomeric Joint SealantsC1083 Test Method for Water Absorption of Cellular Elas-tomeric Gaskets and Sealing Materials1This standard is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C24 on BuildingSeals and Sealants and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C24.10 onSpecifications,Guides and Practices.Current edition approved Jan.1,2016.Published January 2016.Originallyapproved in 1991.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as C119313.DOI:10.1520/C1193-16.2For 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 C1087 Test Method for Determining Compatibility ofLiquid-Applied Sealants with Accessories Used in Struc-tural Glazing SystemsC1135 Test Method for Determining Tensile Adhesion Prop-erties of Structural SealantsC1184 Specification for Structural Silicone SealantsC1216 Test Method for Adhesion and Cohesion of One-PartElastomeric Solvent Release SealantsC1241 Test Method for Volume Shrinkage of Latex SealantsDuring CureC1247 Test Method for Durability of Sealants Exposed toContinuous Immer
