Chemical resistance AQUAFIN®-CA (storage at +23 °C)
Test procedure: A thin (2‒3 mm) film is produced from the material to be tested and heated at +23°C / 50% r.h. stored until fully cured. The sample is then weighed and then immersed completely in the desired test medium (closed plastic/steel container). Storage is either at +23°C (standard) or another agreed temperature. After the specified test intervals, the sample is removed from the medium, briefly rinsed with water or isopropanol and then dabbed dry with crepe paper. After reweighing, other parameters (Shore A, mechanical properties) are checked if necessary and the sample is evaluated visually and haptically.
Evaluation: The evaluation of the results depends on the intended purpose and the changes that are still tolerated. In general, chemicals that cause no or negligible changes after 7 hours do not present a problem with regard to short-term, sporadic contact with the cured sealant. If there is no relevant change after 3 days, even longer occasional contact is unproblematic. Stability after one week of storage indicates good compatibility with the jointing compound, but is no guarantee of unlimited stability with permanent contact. It should be noted that the temperature can have a strong influence on the result. The data reported is therefore only valid in the range of the measurement temperature (deviations of a few °C are usually not critical).
