TCNA is now offering testing of ISO 13007-2 and ISO 13007-4 test methods for reaction resin adhesives and grouts.

1SO 13007-2 describes methods for determining characteristics for adhesives and ISO 13007-4 describes methods for determining characteristics for grouts used in the installation of ceramic tiles. Determination of open time, determination of slip, determination of shear adhesion strength, determination of tensile adhesion strength, determination of transverse deformation and determination of chemical resistance are covered in ISO 13007-2. Determination of flexural and compressive strength, determination of water absorption, determination of shrinkage, determination of resistance to abrasion, determination of transverse deformation and determination of chemical resistance are covered by ISO 13007-4.

Based on the performance on the methods listed, classification and specification of the reaction resin adhesives and grouts are listed in the chart.
