ASTM C1315 − 11 Standard Specification for Liquid Membrane-Forming Compounds Having Special Properties for Curing and Sealing Concrete

Scope
1.1 This specification provides requirements for membrane forming liquids suitable for use as curing compounds and sealers on freshly placed concrete and as sealers on hardened concrete.

These membranes have special properties, such as, alkali resistance, acid resistance, adhesion-promoting qualities, and resistance to degradation by UV light.

NOTE 1—For liquid membrane-forming curing compounds specified primarily by their ability to retain water in

newly placed concrete (and by drying time, and for white pigmented products, reflectance), see Specification C309.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. (Inch pound units are shown in

parentheses).

1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 8, of this specification.

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 and health practices and

determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

7.1 Samples shall be taken either at the plant or warehouse prior to delivery, or at the point of delivery, at the option of the purchaser.

If sampling is done prior to shipment, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free access to the

materials being sampled and shall be afforded all reasonable facilities for inspection and sampling.
