Surface Burning Chartacteristics of Green Glue • ASTM E-84-04
| File No: FH-1534 | Date: 1/26/05 | Project No: H-337 | By: RAC |
MATERIAL TESTED:
Samples submitted for evaluation by certified GREEN GLUE installers and were described as:
Green Glue - Visco Elastic Sound Dampening Compound
The material was trowel applied to 1/4” thick reinforced cement board with a 1/8” V-notched trowel. The resulting ridges were flattened out to simulate being compressed between two layers of building materials and forming a composite building unit.
The test samples were conditioned at 70ºF and 50% RH prior to testing.
The test was conducted in accordance with test method ASTM-E84.
METHOD OF SUPPORT:
Three test specimens were placed end to end on the furnace ledge to achieve the required 24 ft. length for each test.
LABORATORY RESPONSIBILITY
NGC Testing Services makes no judgment of product suitability for its intended end use. Product acceptance of field installations is usually the prerogative of the authority having jurisdiction.
