ICC-ES AC152
Full Name
ICC-ES AC152 – Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive Attachment of Concrete or Clay Roofing Tiles
Scope
ICC-ES AC152 establishes the guidelines for evaluating expanding polyurethane adhesives used to attach clay or concrete roofing tiles to underlayments.
Key aspects covered by AC152 include:
- Adhesive properties: requirements for the adhesive’s composition, curing time, shear strength, tensile strength, and resistance to environmental factors (e.g., temperature, moisture).
- Testing procedures: standardized methods for testing the adhesive’s performance under various conditions, including wind uplift, shear, and impact resistance.
- Evaluation criteria: specific performance thresholds that adhesives must meet to be deemed acceptable for use in roofing applications.
