ASTM International’s committee on Building Seals and Sealants (C24) is sponsoring the Sixth Symposium on the Durability of Building and Construction Sealants and Adhesives, June 14-15, at the Sheraton Centre Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The symposium will take in conjunction with the June standards development meetings of the committee.
 
The symposium will provide a forum for the global sealant and adhesives community to continue the discussion on the durability of structural and weatherproofing sealants and adhesives.
 
Topics for the symposium will focus on the aspects of sealant durability, which include:
•    Outdoor exposure,
•    Characterization,
•    Fine element modeling,
•    Monitoring of critical properties,
•    Development of accelerated testing,
•    Relating accelerated testing to in-service performance, and
•    Modeling of sealant durability
 
Online registration will close on June 7, 2017.  Registration questions can be directed to Kelly Dennison (see below). For technical information or questions on the symposium, contact chairman Chris White (Christopher.white@nist.gov), or co-chairman Hiroyuki Miyauchi (miyauchi@kenken.go.jp).
