What is BS EN 15819 - Polymer modified bitumen drying thickness about?
Polymer modified bitumen is one of the specially designed and engineered bitumen grades that are used in making pavement, roads for heavy-duty traffic, and home roofing solutions to withstand extreme weather conditions. BS EN 15819 is a European Standard that discusses polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings for waterproofing.
BS EN 15819 specifies a procedure for determining the reduction in the thickness of the polymer modified bituminous thick coatings due to drying.
Who is BS EN 15819 – Polymer modified bitumen drying thickness for?
BS EN 15819 on Polymer modified bitumen drying thickness is useful for:
- Relevant government / municipal bodies
- Manufacturers of polymer modified bitumen
- The concrete industry
- Infrastructure industries
- Builders / real estate developers / architects
- Product designers / innovation teams
- Quality control personnel
- Civil / construction / building engineers
- Project managers
- Contractors
Why should you use BS EN 15819 - Polymer modified bitumen drying thickness?
Polymer modified bitumen is typically used on road pavements, particularly those that are intended to withstand heavy-duty traffic and extreme weather conditions. This material is also used as a sealant in residential roofing applications. The reduction of the thickness of polymer modified bitumen emulsion is the difference between measuring wet and dry layer thickness under special conditions on a coated surface.
BS EN 15819 provides guidance on testing details such as apparatus, test specimens, dimensions of the test specimens, conditioning of test specimens, test conditions, procedures, expression of results, and precision.
BS EN 15819 helps you to assess the effectiveness of polymer modified bitumen as a seamless, jointless, and permanently flexible waterproofing solution. This contributes towards the innovation of high-quality waterproofing solutions.
