What is BS EN 14187-6 - Determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties about?  

BS EN 14187-6 is the sixth part of the BS EN 14187 series of standards that specifies a test method to determine the adhesion/cohesion properties after immersion in test fuels or liquid chemicals. 

Who is BS EN 14187-6 - Determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties for? 

BS EN 14187-6 on the determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties is useful for: 

• Manufacturers and suppliers of sealing materials  
• Road and airfield construction companies  
• Airport authorities  
• Construction industry   
• Civil engineers 

Why should you use BS EN 14187-6 - Determination of the adhesion/cohesion properties?  

BS EN 14187-6 helps to determine cohesion properties after immersion in test fuels and liquid chemicals of joint sealants for the concrete pavement to consider which is important while selecting a sealant.  

BS EN 14187-6 will help in determining the quality and the cracking property of the sealant. 

Overall, BS EN 14187-6 reduces the distress levels in the concrete pavement caused by poor sealant performance and helps to reduce rehabilitation costs. 

What is changed since the last update?
