Overview

EN 14187-2:2017 (CEN) specifies a harmonized laboratory test method to determine the tack free time of cold applied joint sealants intended for joints in roads, airfields and other trafficked areas. Often published as SIST EN 14187-2:2017 in national catalogues, this European Standard defines the measurement principle, required apparatus, conditioning, test procedure and required test report information for quality control and specification compliance.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Measurement of the tack free time for cold applied joint sealants used in highways, airport pavements and other trafficked surfaces.
  • Principle: Tack free time is the elapsed time after application when peeling a polyethylene film from the sealant surface picks up no material.
  • Conditioning: Store samples in closed containers for 16–24 h at (23 ± 2) °C before testing.
  • Test environment: Perform tests under standard laboratory conditions (23 ± 2) °C and 50 ± 5 % r.h.).
  • Apparatus: Includes flat bladed mixing spatula; a metal or polyethylene frame (125 ± 5 mm × 38 ± 2 mm × 6,0 ± 0,5 mm); metal base plate (150 ± 5 mm × 75 ± 5 mm × 2,0 ± 0,5 mm); polyethylene film (150 ± 5 mm × 20 ± 2 mm × 100 ± 10 µm); and a metal plate (40 ± 1 mm × 30 ± 1 mm) weighing 30,0 ± 0,5 g.
  • Procedure highlights: Mix multi-component sealants per manufacturer instructions; fill the frame and level off; after the prescribed test period place the polyethylene film and immediately cover with the metal plate for (30 ± 3) s; remove the plate and peel the film at right angle; record the time when no material adheres.
  • Test report: Must reference EN 14187-2, identify sealant name/type and batch, report tack free time, note deviations from specified conditions and provide test date.

Applications and users

  • Who uses it: Sealant manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, road and airport authorities, contractors, pavement maintenance teams, specification writers and procurement officers.
  • Practical value: Enables consistent, repeatable measurement of cure behavior for cold applied joint sealants - critical for scheduling traffic reopening, validating product performance, quality control of batches, and ensuring compliance with contract specifications for trafficked infrastructure.
