About This Item
ASTM D6162/D6162M is the ASTM specification for styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) modified bituminous sheet materials using a combination of polyester and glass fiber reinforcements. It provides a focused reference for understanding how these reinforced roofing and waterproofing sheet materials are identified and evaluated. For buyers, specifiers, and quality teams, this standard helps support more consistent product selection, comparison, and compliance review when working with SBS-modified sheet materials.
Purpose of ASTM D6162/D6162M
The purpose of ASTM D6162/D6162M is to define requirements for SBS modified bituminous sheet materials that use both polyester and glass fiber reinforcements. As a technical specification, it helps establish a common basis for describing product characteristics and expected performance-related properties. This makes it useful when evaluating materials for roofing or similar sheet applications where reinforcement type and modified bitumen composition are important to the end product’s consistency and suitability.
Common use cases of ASTM D6162/D6162M
This standard is commonly used when specifying or reviewing SBS modified bituminous sheet materials that combine polyester and glass fiber reinforcement. It is relevant in procurement, product approval, and quality control workflows for sheet goods intended for roofing or comparable waterproofing applications. ASTM D6162/D6162M is also useful when comparing materials from different manufacturers, since it provides a shared technical basis for checking that products are aligned with the same specification.
Why ASTM D6162/D6162M matters
ASTM D6162/D6162M matters because it supports clearer communication between manufacturers, purchasers, and specifiers. By defining a recognized specification for this class of SBS modified bituminous sheet material, it can help reduce ambiguity during product selection and evaluation. That can improve procurement consistency, support compliance documentation, and make quality control reviews more straightforward. In practice, ASTM D6162/D6162M helps users assess whether a product fits the intended specification before it is selected or installed.
