ASTM C 794 (C-794) determines the strength and characteristics of the peel properties of a cured-in-place elastomeric joint sealant, single- or multicomponent, for use in building construction. The test displays the ability of the cured sealant to maintain a bond to the substrate under severe conditions and it is utilitzed to help determine the adhesive characteristics of sealant/primer combinations with unusual or proprietary substrates. The peel test is configured with a 180 degree peel angle. ASTM C920 addresses silicone sealant joints in concrete construction. The adhesion of these joints is to be tested using ASTM C794. TestResources provides machines, grips, equipment, and fixtures for testing in accordance with ASTM C794.
