This specification covers coal tar adhesive with or without polymer modification suitable for brush, spray, squeegee and trowel application to coal tar built up and coal tar modified bitumen membrane roofings and flashings. The adhesive shall be classified as: Type I and Type II. Coal tar adhesive shall consist of a processed coal tar base, volatile solvents, mineral stabilizers, with or without polymer modifiers excluding asbestos, mixed to a smooth consistency. The following test methods shall be performed to conform with the requirements of the material: nonvolatile matter; water; ash; lap shear strength; and peel strength.

1.1 This specification covers coal tar adhesive with or without polymer modification suitable for brush, spray, squeegee, and trowel application to coal tar built-up and coal tar modified bitumen membrane roofings and flashings.

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.

1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
