ASTM C723

Scope

1.1 This practice provides detailed information on the handling and proper use of chemical-resistant resin grouts for filling joints of chemical-resistant brick or tile such as those covered in Specification C 658.

Note 1—Resin grouts and mortars are differentiated as follows: Resin grouts are applied to joints, generally ¼ in. (6 mm) wide, after the brick or tile are set in place and the setting bed has hardened (grouting or tilesetter’s method). Resin mortars are troweled onto the brick or tile in sufficient quantity to achieve a ¹/₈-in. (3-mm) thick joint after the brick or tile are laid in place (buttering or bricklayer’s method). (See Practice C 399.)

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
