Test
Method |
|
In
this
test
3
drops
of
each
chemical
was
applied
to
the
surface
of
Meganite
The
sample
was
exposed
for
16
hours;
covered
with
glass
plate
and
then
uncovered.The
surface
was
checked
and
then
scrubbed
with
a
wet
Scotch-Brite®Pad
and
bleaching
cleanser
such
as
Ajax®.

| II. Test Result |
The
following
chemicals
can
be
removed
with
a
wet
Scotch-Brite®
pad
and
bleaching
cleanser.
Glossy
surfaces
can
increase
the
resistance.

Test
procedure:
The
tunnel
was
thoroughly
pre-heated
by
burning
natural
gas.
When
the
brick
temperature,
sensed
by
a
floor
thermocouple,
had
reached
the
prescribed
105
+/-

level,
the
sample
was
inserted
in
the
tunnel
and
test
conducted
in
accordance
with
the
standard
ASTM
E

procedures.
The
operation
of
the
tunnel
was
checked
by
performing
a
10-minute
test
with
inorganic
board
on
the
day
of
the
test.
