Standard Test Method for Determination of Extrudability of Cartridge Adhesives
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Cartridge adhesives are typically used at job sites in a wide variety of temperature ranges. These products may be exposed to cold temperatures, where one of the limiting application factors is whether the product can be extruded from the cartridge.
4.2 The test method quantitatively measures the force necessary to extrude a cartridge adhesive at a given temperature. This provides the formulator with results that can assist in formulation development and the end user with information for use in selecting a product for general usage.
4.3 By measuring (the ease of) extrusion from the cartridge, the test method can also be used as a quality control tool to measure the shelf life stability of a product.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method measures the amount of force necessary to extrude an adhesive from a cartridge at a given temperature.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM D5267-97(2017) – Standard Test Method for Determination of Extrudability of Cartridge Adhesives is a widely recognized standard developed by ASTM International. This test method specifies procedures for quantitatively measuring the force required to extrude adhesives from cartridges at a given temperature. Cartridge adhesives are frequently used in construction, manufacturing, and repair applications, often across varied temperature conditions. Accurate determination of extrudability is essential for both product development and consistent field application.
Key Topics
- Extrudability Measurement: The standard outlines a method to assess the force (typically in psi) needed to begin and maintain the extrusion of adhesive from a cartridge. This is especially critical for performance in cold or variable climates, where adhesive flow can be limited.
- Temperature Conditioning: Extrudability is determined at specified temperatures, reflecting real-world scenarios where cartridges might be stored or used in cold or warm environments.
- Quality Control: By measuring ease of extrusion, the test method serves as a tool for quality assurance, helping manufacturers monitor product consistency and shelf-life stability.
- Reporting Requirements: Detailed reporting is required, including adhesive and cartridge identification, testing temperature, crosshead speed, and measured forces.
- Precision and Variability: The standard provides guidelines on test repeatability within labs while recognizing inherent variability between different laboratories.
Applications
ASTM D5267-97(2017) is highly relevant for:
- Adhesive Manufacturers: Used to inform formulation development by providing quantitative feedback on product performance at various temperatures. This assists in creating adhesives optimized for ease of use and customer satisfaction.
- Field Technicians and Contractors: Enables the selection of cartridge adhesives that can reliably extrude at the anticipated field temperatures, reducing installation delays and ensuring application quality.
- Quality Assurance/Control: Used as a routine check in manufacturing to confirm product consistency, monitor batch variations, and track shelf life over time.
- Product Selection: Purchasers and specifiers can request or compare extrudability data to select products suitable for specific environmental conditions.
Keywords: cartridge adhesives, extrudability, ASTM D5267, adhesive extrusion, force measurement, quality control, temperature conditioning, product testing
Related Standards
The extrudability test method is closely connected with other standards, including:
- ASTM D907 – Terminology of Adhesives: Provides comprehensive definitions used throughout adhesive testing standards, including terms referenced in ASTM D5267.
- ASTM Adhesive Standards: Various standards address other properties of adhesives, such as shear strength, set time, and environmental resistance.
- ISO and National Standards: While ASTM D5267 is widely referenced in North America and internationally, organizations should be aware of regional equivalents or additional requirements for testing adhesive materials.
Adopting ASTM D5267-97(2017) helps ensure reliable adhesive performance, supports product innovation, and meets industry, contractual, or regulatory requirements for quality assurance and consistency. Use of this test method strengthens confidence in adhesive application, particularly under challenging temperature conditions encountered in field operations.
