General Information

Overview - EN 13880-4:2024 (Hot applied joint sealants - Heat resistance)
EN 13880-4:2024 is a CEN test method that specifies how to characterize the heat resistance of hot-applied joint sealants by measuring the change in penetration value and resilience after thermal exposure. The standard defines the exposure conditions, specimen handling, and the way to report cone penetration and recovery (resilience) results for sealants covered by EN 14188-1.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Purpose: Compare cone penetration and resilience values before and after elevated-temperature exposure to assess sensitivity to heat.
- Test principle: Heat representative sealant specimens in metal containers (sample tins), then determine cone penetration and ball penetration/recovery following EN 13880-2 and EN 13880-3.
- Exposure conditions:
- Forced-air ventilated oven complying with ISO 188.
- Temperature: (70 ± 1) °C (storage tolerance also referenced as ±2 °C in a clause).
- Duration: (168 ± 2) hours.
- Conditioning after exposure: Cool in air at (23 ± 2) °C for (1,75 ± 0,25) h; protect specimens against dust and rapid cooling during conditioning.
- Measurements and reporting:
- Cone penetration reported to 0.1 mm (per EN 13880-2).
- Recovery (resilience) reported per EN 13880-3.
- Calculate and report the difference in material characteristics before and after exposure.
- Only one specimen per measurement is required after exposure (different from EN 13880-2/-3 which typically use more).
- Apparatus: Forced-air oven, cone penetration and resilience test equipment as specified in EN 13880-2 and EN 13880-3.
- Precision: Repeatability/reproducibility estimates are not yet available; laboratories should consider their measurement uncertainty.
Practical applications and users
- Who uses it:
- Sealant manufacturers for product development and quality control.
- Accredited testing laboratories performing performance verification.
- Road authorities, specifiers and contractors verifying compliance with EN 14188-1.
- R&D teams comparing formulations for thermal stability.
- Why it matters:
- Helps select sealants that retain mechanical properties under elevated temperatures (important for hot climates and heavy solar loading).
- Supports specification compliance, tender evaluation, and batch acceptance testing.
- Informs product labelling and performance claims related to heat susceptibility.
