Popular Questions About IS 13435 Part 1

?What is the defined solid content in acrylic-based polymer waterproofing materials according to IS 13435 Part 1?

According to IS 13435 Part 1 (1992), the solid content in acrylic-based polymer waterproofing materials is defined as:

  • Solid Content (Non-volatile matter):
    The percentage by weight of the material that remains as residue after drying at an elevated temperature under specified conditions.

Key points from the standard:

  • Dry the sample on an uncoated tin plate lid at 160 ± 5°C until constant weight.
  • Solid content is calculated as the ratio of residue weight to the original sample weight, expressed as a percentage.
  • This test ensures the measure of non-volatile solids present, critical for performance evaluation.

Summary formula:

[ \text{Solid Content (%)} = \frac{\text{Weight of residue after drying (g)}}{\text{Original sample weight (g)}} \times 100 ]

This value helps verify the quality and consistency of acrylic polymer waterproofing materials.
