1.1 This Test Method describes a laboratory screening procedure for evaluating the chemical compatibility of self-adhered
flashing and sealant materials intended for use in construction and fenestration installations that are properly installed. Proper
installation will be achieved by following good installation practices as described in industry recognized publications
including the InstallationMastersTM Training Manual, AAMA 2400 and ASTM E 2112.
1.2 For the purposes of this document, "Chemical Compatibility" will be limited to observed effects including
dripping/sag/flow of any component from the constructed sample as a result of the softening or liquification of the self-
adhered flashing adhesive or sealant.
1.3 This Test Method is intended for flexible sheet membrane materials that include an integral adhesive layer, which are
generally installed as concealed flashings behind claddings on exterior walls. However, this test method can also be applied
to other interfaces in the building envelope.
1.4 The primary units of measure in this document are metric. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
The values given in parentheses are for reference only.
