ISO/TR 20436 Buildings and civil engineeringworks – Sealants – Paintability andpaint compatibility of sealants

The technical standard ISO/TR 20436:2017 evaluates the surface appearance of dried coatings, particularly sealants used in building projects. Methods for assessing the first coats applied over sealants and the impact of sealants on paint curing and drying times are also included in ISO/TR 20436:2017. Standardizing test procedures for paintability and paint compatibility of sealants in construction applications is made possible by this technical standard.

    Introduction to ISO/TR 20436

    Guidelines for assessing the surface quality of dried coatings put over sealants in buildings and civil engineering projects are available in ISO/TR 20436:2017. The ultimate goal of this standard is to enhance the overall appearance and functionality of building projects by ensuring that sealants and paints are compatible with each other, as per industry standards. MaTestLab is one of the top testing service providers, with a comprehensive network of testing laboratories in the USA, enabling us to conduct ISO/TR 20436 testing for our clients.

    ISO/TR 20436 Requirements

    Specific guidelines and requirements for determining whether a sealant is paintable are outlined in ISO/TR 20436:2017. These guidelines outline the evaluation of sealant compatibility, including its impact on paint curing and drying times, surface appearance, and initial coating application. It also emphasizes the importance of recording details such as substrate properties, application timings, and specifications for sealants and coatings.

    ISO/TR 20436 Implementation

    The ISO/TR 20436:2017 specified test techniques and assessment processes must be adhered to to apply the standard. By using this standard, construction experts can systematically evaluate the compatibility of sealants and paints, ensuring that the coatings used are suitable and continue to function well over time. Construction project durability and visual appeal can be improved by industry practitioners following the recommendations outlined in the standard.

    ISO/TR 20436 Results and Interpretation

    The paintability of sealants is determined by testing per ISO/TR 20436:2017. Results include evaluations of coating application quality, surface appearance, and the impact on paint curing and drying timeframes. These findings are crucial for ensuring compatibility in building projects. The outcomes of the tests help evaluate the efficacy of sealant-paint combinations, ensuring proper adherence. Applications include the joint usage of sealants and coatings in building projects. 

    Standards related to ISO/TR 20436

    ASTM D3359 testing for adhesion is a comparable standard to ISO/TR 20436. Other similar testing standards include ASTM D4585, which measures coating resistance to delamination.
